TARVER: "CALZAGHE PERFORMANCE FOOLS GOLD!"
By G. Leon

Outspoken light heavyweight champion Antonio "The Magic Man" Tarver told **********.com that he was very impressed with newly crowned super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe's domination of Jeff Lacy. "I thought he looked great and put on a boxing clinic but I wasn't overly impressed. People have to remember what he had in front of him and*understand that him getting in the ring with Antonio Tarver is a totally different ballgame. Once I retire Bernard Hopkins once and for all on June 10, I'm ready to make Calzaghe's wish of fighting me come true and I'm telling you right now if he ever gets in the ring with Antonio Tarver I'm going to show the world that performance was nothing but fools gold."

Fools gold doesnt happen every minute of every round for 12 rounds fools gold happens when you close your eyes and land a monster left to KO your opponent...could someone relay this message to my boy Toney T. please?

Name them! Tarver is a good fighter. Yea Calzaghe looked very good against Lacy but Tarver is the real thing. This would be a good fight to watch.

My pick?

Tarver Vs Calzaghe

Tarver wins by SD

Tarver wins by UD.

Tarver wins by UD.


The only reason your saying that is because he is your dad.

I think Tarver KOs Calzaghe and you can bet I will be cheering for the Tampa boy Tarver.

i really hate tarver. he's not good. he should just shut his mouth and box.

The only thing that I like about Tarver (its also why I hate him) is that leading up to a fight he knows how to sell a fight with those wonderful lips of his.

I used to hate tarver but the more I study him the more I come the the realization how complete he is. great power ,stands extremely southpaw, great defense,rolls his shoulder very well hes long and ,and can easily win fights going backwards. he only lost to harding in reality tho I never saw the reggie johnson fight ..I think he wouldve knocked lacy out I think he the best southpaw in the world then calzaghe then pacman then judah

So you rate Vargas, Mosely, Gatti, Judah, Witter, and Cotto better than Tarver.

No one should take anything you say about Tarver seriously again.

He was getting outclassed badly in his rematch with Eric Harding to until Toney caught him with the big one.

His fight with the old and worn Reggie Johnson was awful.

His first fight with Jones was made to order-he was fighting a guy that was dead ass drained and had Tarver of been active and gone after Jones (like he did in a couple rounds) he would have beaten Jones just like Glenn Johnson did.

But he was lazy as he has been many times in his career.

I for one want to see Toney Tarver in a fight with someone besides Roy Jones or Glenn Johnson, Jones was a shell of himself and Glenn brings a great work rate yet a lot of defeats to the table... (Toney and Nard are gonna charge $50 to ****ing stare at each other, "you go first, no you, no you")

Tarver has yet to show me a GREAT performance...he still has not sold me!

It's understandable that a crafty southpaw like Reggie Johnson gave Tarver problems. Tarver is no Roy Jones after all. As far as Glen losses, we all know a lot of those are hotly disputed.

But yeah, Tarver-Hops is a complete waste of time in my view. It would be great to have Calzaghe and Tarver fight each other after that fight. I hope Roy doesn't get involved with Joe before that. That would be another useless fight.

Whatever Tarver says I hold true. He is the man right now. His word is law.

Dude if you don't have Tarver in the top 10 p4p you're a hater or a Mexican who has JMM and Rafael Marquez in there

Not in his weight, jus p4p. I would rather watch..and i think is better...

Please dont tell me thats Britains very own Junior Witter? You think Witter is P4P a better fighter than Tarver? :confused:

Wow people forgot how to read?

He said he would prefer to watch them... and he thinks they are better (because he prefers to watch them I assume). :cool:

all Calzaghe has to do is go right to the body...Tarver is proven to drown in deep waters in the late rounds..

so my pick is Calzaghe

oh and u think Hopkins don't know that?...dude is a master in breaking u down til the later rounds... and I pick Hopkins come June 10th...

I think Lacy could beat Tarver. I think B-Hop will beat Tarver too.

I don't think B-Hop will handle the jump in weight that well after fighting at 160 his entire career. Tarver will probably win 8 or 9 rounds for a UD. Tarver-Calzaghe would be very interesting. If the Calzaghe that fought Lacy shows up, it could be a long night for Tarver. Tarver's been fighting a somewhat washed up Roy Jones, an aging Glen Johnson, and next Hopkins. Calzaghe's no joke, and if Tarver takes him lightly, he'll lose. I wouldn't bet on this fight, but I do give Tarver a slight edge if he's at his best.

The reason Hopkins thinks he has a shot against Tarver is Tarver has horrible stamina issues. He doesn't have high punch output, yet he seems to tire badly in late rounds ... I mean, he looked on the verge of passing out late in Tarver Jones III. He catches Jones with a great counter, follows up with a huge uppercut, and then almost throws himself out of the ring with a haymaker ... and then he's completely worn out and Jones starts goin at him. I'm not saying Hopkins will win - I hope he does - but Tarver is not a perfect fighter because he is vulnerable late in fights.

Calzaghe can out box Tarver and totally out hustle Tarver. the only thing Tarver has going is his power in this fight, and his abillity to land big shots on guys.

if Calzaghe stands in front of Tarver like he did against Lacy he will get knocked down and maybe out.

if Calzaghe moves and doesn't stay in one spot for too long then he has a chance of winning on the cards.

Tarver doesn't throw enough to match or pass the punch out put of Calzaghe....

good match up....

Some people cannot read, i said these fighters are either better, or i would rather watch. Has Tarver bin in a better fight than gatti v ward? Or Has he even knocked anyone decent besides an aeging Jones. As for witter i would still rather watch him than Tarver, its all a matter of a opinion..i just cannot stand Tarver, i still need convincing.

i hope tarver beats his ass
