How good is Antonio Tarver?

[MetalVomit]

I agree 100%


Johnson will expose Tarver December 8th

they will expose each other.

[acquitted]

tarver is the best fighter 185 and below right now...he has speed and a vicious left staright...

[restless_438]

easy...... not very

[phallus]

We'll see how good Tarver is when he meets Johnson

[Nick54]

Tarver is overrated. he showed in the first RJJ fight that he has no heart. i wanna see him step up and fight toney.

When Tarver beats Johnson I hope all the people who think Johnson will win don't try to say he was a bum or he wasn't that good.

[techn9ne]

johnson is a bum

How good is Tarver? I have never been convinced he was very good at all. One hit wonder comes to mind. I lost most of my respect for Tarver during his first fight with Jones. He had the opportunity to win, but fought like a scared little girl, when he should have opened up.....he deserved to lose that fight.

A win against Johnson means nothing.

Tarver is in a bad situation now. All talk, and nobody to fight. Jones was his only big fight. Tarver gets outclassed if he messes with Hopkins. Tarver hasn't shown me anything to make me think he should move to Heavyweight.

Poor Tarver, he will have a steady string of crappy defences. Just like his daddy.......Roy.

I've seen ten of Johnsons fights,I bet you doubters probably seen him fight once.Or maybe most of you are also fans of Roy Jones Jr,who knows.The fact is Glen Johnson proved by beating Jones round after round,and knocking him silly that he has a great shot at beating Tarver.BTW,Johnson won more RD's against Jones in 9rd's than Tarver did against Jones two fights,lol.

Johnson is a decent fighter, after all his fights I would expect him to be a bit more polished than he is, but none the less, I think Tarver will be in for a long night.

Tarver did show some class at the post fight conf. after the RJJ vs Johnson fight, he kept a low profile, and let Johnson enjoy the moment. I was kind of suprised he didn't try to run his mouth as he did so many time with Roy.

As for the outcome of the fight, I give Johnson a good chance at pulling off the upset if he can swarm Tarver without getting tagged and dropped. I really haven't been impressed enough by either fighter to call for an all out KO victory by one or the other, so I will have to wait and see. Just like the rest of you....
