Time for Tarver to retire?

Maybe Roy jones would think he has a chance NOW....in a 4th fight

I actually think that Tarver could still become a champion. He could go to Hungary and challenge Erdie for his WBA portion of the title or fight Diaconu for his new WBC, both are winnable fights for him. thats exactly what i think he is gonna do, i dont think his pride will let him retire after a loss. he could get one or both belts then retire.

He's one of the greats of our time and he's been past it for 3 years and still fighting on. But it's probly time to hang up the gloves. Though I think he may fight again.

I hope he does. Got sum respect for him but I don't like his cocky ass. Glad he lost even tho I picked him to get the KO tonite.

why in the hell would he retire? boxing fans are obsessed with retiring. Tarver looked fine tonight. I doubt hed ever end up the best at L Heavyweight, but its not impossible for him to win another title. at the very worst, he could be a stepping stone for another rising talent...which is a good thing. a fighter should retire when theyve taken too much damage in their career or when they start to lose to low level competition. that is not Tarver. To say Tarver looked fine is a reach. He only did well in spots where Dawson allowed him to. I'm not obsessed with retirement. If you look at the division who can he fight? His only choice would be to fight Johnson. He's clearly lost speed, pop, and his endurance. He was far from fine.

I thought he should retire a while ago. Then he destoyed Woods, and I wasnt sure. After tonight, I think he needs to retire again.

I can't help by being reminded how often Tarver was said to look gassed and tired .. by the Santena announcer in the later rounds (8, 9, 10) he threw a bit too many pitter patter punches.

I think it's better that he retire now but he can still fight on if he wants to, he can still compete with the top guys in the division I think.

yes, he looked old, slow, had nothing on his punches, he is done :banghead:

He could still fight Johnson for a third time. But I agree that it's better for Tarver to retire, there aren't many options for him. He did not seem like he is considering retirement though during the post-fight interview.
