How good is Antonio Tarver?

[jack_the_rippuh]

You're saying he was thinking of Tarver through the whole fight?

Tarver's KO of Roy shouldn't be de-valued simply because Johnson did it too. Tarver said what he was going to do, he told Roy that Roy will have no more excuses this time...and he dropped him like a bad habit. Tarver destroyed Roy and that's the Roy we saw in the ring against Glen.

trigger, was he putting his clothes back on while you were still laying in bed when you decided to take that picture?

I agree Toney T's Ko over Jones should not be overlooked, it's just like when you were in high school or college and you were the first guy to **** a hot babe that everyone was foaming over, after you ****ed her chances are someone was right behind you bending her over as well. This didn't diminish your accomplishment of being the first, right? And even more importantly you layed the ground work for the next guy to come in a **** her and chances are he was more confident than he would have been if he was the first because the dude knows going in that if you play it right your gonna have the opportunity to split this girl open!

IT's the same with Tarver/Jones and Johnson. Tarver ****ed Roy first, that was awesome and no one can take away the fact that he was the first. Tarver showed Glenn that Roy is not this untouchable prissy *****, he showed Glenn that he is like any other girl or fighter out there...he's ****able. I agree with Jab whe he says that Glenn fought a different fight then he would have if Jones would have beaten Tarver. Basically the analogy holds up, Glenn saw that Jones could be ****ed like any other ***** out there and he went in with that mind frame and ultimately got some, granted they were sloppy seconds but who cares we have all been there!

Tarver is good because of his style. He sits back on that tall frame and looks to counterpunch. He isn't incredibly talented, but he fights perfectly for his build. On top of that he's got Buddy McGirt in his corner who is the best strategist in boxing. He'd be difficult for anyone to figure out. I think he stops Johnson between 7-9 on a fight changing counterpunch that Johnson walks into, especially if Johnson fights like he did against Roy.

Destroyed Roy? C'mon, let's not play favorites, he landed one good punch.

he setup a perfectly executed counter punch you clown, that would have dropped (getting knocked out was all due to rj bs chin) tito, dlh, hopkins, tyson, lewis and anyone else if they had been the same weight.

Tarver got lucky with that counterpunch KO,while Johnson didn't need to counterpunch to dominate Jones Jr and knock him out.

KEYWORD:lucky
