Tarver at Heavyweight

ademak versus tarver.... I'm inclined to say Adamek on a hunch. But... Tarver did an awesome job against Glen Johnson, but I just think too much time has gone by, so Adamek's pressure might be too much for him. IS it just me or does tarver look like he doesnt age He really doesn't... still looks like the cherry lips of young.

Tarver is rusty but not shot. He's never been knocked out and he's never really been in any fights where he took a lot of punishment. Harding I? His jaw was hanging off his face.

any top CW or HW sparks Tarver out. He's been shots for at least 3 yrs now. Tarver is rusty but not shot. He's never been knocked out and he's never really been in any fights where he took a lot of punishment.

He should stay behind the mic. He does have what it takes to rock the mic right YEAH! Terrible idea...

Am I the only person who wants to see Tarver at heavyweight? He's not an old fighter by any stretch. I think he's got plenty of boxing left in him... any top CW or HW sparks Tarver out. He's been shots for at least 3 yrs now.

Am I the only person who wants to see Tarver at heavyweight? He's not an old fighter by any stretch. I think he's got plenty of boxing left in him... I do, everybody seems to love Roy Jones on here. It seems that they can't even allow themselves to like Tarver because of it. Tarver's been ranked inside the Ring Top 10 at 175 for 11 years now. People don't know that most elite fighters walk around 30 pounds above weight. Since Tarver has had a long layoff, he must be at 210-220 and he doesn't look fat. He could do some real damage at heavyweight if he chooses the right fights.

Tarver would never beat Haye! Haye is too big, powerful and quick for Tarver. He should move to Cruiserweight, there's a lot of good fights there e.g. Cunningham, Huck, Green, Flores, Afolabi, Lebedev, and Hernandez. Quicker than the version of Roy Jones he beat up on 1 occasion and knocked out in another? That said, Tarver isn't at that stage of his career anymore, but he still has a lot of what he came in with because he relies on skills and they're still somewhat sharp. If Tarver's chin can take a heavyweight punch, he will give Haye more of a fight than he's gotten at heavyweight. His lateral movement would be Tarver's biggest problem. If Tarver fights anyone, but the Klits, he will further expose how weak the heavyweight division is.

fight James toney....I do enjoy his commentary.I wonder how heavy he could get & still be effective? 210maybe?

I don't think it's a great idea, Tarver has the height to carry the weight OK if he builds it on right but his body type isn't exactly the type of body that carries a lot of muscle, he could end up being pretty soft around the middle at heavyweight. There are some interesting options for him there though and he might be able to make some decent paydays before retiring.

I'd like to see Tarver as a heavyweight. Am I the only one?...

He's moving up to Heavyweight. What chance does he have against the likes of the Klits, Haye, Povetkin, Arreola, Adamek and co.? None whatsoever. I thought he was smarter than this.

He said he wanted to fight at Cruiser to fight Green but he said something like "He's too busy digging up dead bodies to fight"...

It's smart money wise for him to fight at heavyweight. I'm sure he'll make more in one fight against Haye/Adamek/Klitschko than he would announcing at Showtime for 5 years. He should stick with announcing though, he's excellent at it. He's what you want a fighter as an announcer to be.

He's never been stopped in his career. If Tarver carries his speed, power, and skills, he will do pretty good. If he can, at the very least, Tarver can beat Adamek and/or Haye.

hes not strong enough to fight the klitchckos but he will get his food in the heavies for a while cause they are only bumbs there now.

Balboa's face was able to brake his wrist. And the Rock was washed up by 06. He's a commentator. He should stick to commentating.:biggthump

he gets KO'd easy, should go to CW He's never been stopped in his career. If Tarver carries his speed, power, and skills, he will do pretty good. If he can, at the very least, Tarver can beat Adamek and/or Haye.

Just an awful idea. He is a great commentator and I wish he'd just stick with that.
