Antonio tarver is the worlds best light heavyweight

[mspiegelo]

Best record? When you're beating up on guys named Santiago and squeaking by bums like Muriqui, I wonder how he keeps his record squeaky clean

oh, and poor tarver was weigt drained? awwwwwww. shucks!

Who's got the excuses now Antonio?

Nahnahnahnahnah. Best Light Heavies at the moment based on latest wins?

1. Dawson - the true light heavy champ according to judges in florida
2. Calzaghe (who cares about the ring belt when all the defenses are super middleweight fights anyway at 170, or when you handpick your opponent for your only defense and refuse to face a legimate contender at light heavy)
3. B-Hop (man I'd like to place him at two, but the judges have spoken)
4. Johnson (had him beating Dawson 1st time around, but Dawson has learned and will cleanly outbox the old man in a rematch if it ever comes about a la Barrera-Juarez 2)
5. Tarver - cong**** on looking halfway decent against woods. its about time!
6. Zsolst Erdei- however his name is spelled. but who cares- he aint fightin nobody.
7. Diaconu
8. Roy Jizzle
9. shaun george

he has the best record out of any light heavyweight,he only lost hopkins because he was weight drained,this is the guy that finished roy jones,he is back and he gonna become the undisputed champion,

how can calzaghe be the best lhw after one fight in the division that **** aint right

tarver is the man at 175

calzaghe would never wanna fight him. calzaghe only after what tarver finished

It is good to have a comedian in this forum!

Both Calzaghe and Dawson have offered to fight him, but he cleverly prices himself out of the market. Since he has no fan base to speak of, therefore no possible way of generating that kind of revenue, this is just a way of ducking a fight that he has a high probability of losing.

The worlds best light heavy weight is Chad Dawson..

Even including his last lackluster performance, Chad is the best right now..

If he stayed with senior he would be even better..

Chad Dawson is at the top. Tarver would need to beat him in order to convince that hes the best and he seems like he wants no part of Chad. Dawson has the better record through the last couple of years and is actually fighting the best fighters, unlike Tarver.

Tarver has much better wins at LHW than does Chad Dawson, and Calzaghe's one LHW victory is better than anything on Dawson's resume too. Right now Dawson is mostly potential. He looks to be a talented champion but he needs to prove it against someone like Tarver, Hopkins or Calzaghe.

Taver has recently been on the lossing end and is soon to be on his way out. Taver of course has the better wins and is more accomplished at lightt heavyweight overall but through the last couple of years, Dawson beat the better line of fighters. Who has Tarver beat in the last 2 years that was better than Johnson or Adamek?

I have also already explained how Calzaghe's one win over Hopkins doesn't make him the best in my book, its just not fair for one win over a 43 year old Hopkins is better than wins over two top 5 opponents and oen ranked at #10.

I would agree with this list for the most part. Tarver really did get a weight drained Jones in the 1st fight, which noone can deny, and the man still lost. He doesn't continue a sustained attack over a 12 round prize fight. Which some fighters can do ala RJJR, but for someone like Antonio, I think that he needs to fight those full 12 rounds. His fight with Glencoffe Johnson were very close and both men were able to fight at a solid pace. They split the 2 fights and personally i think that both of those fights were the best that Antonio had to offer, although he maintains the 1st one was not. I think Antonioat time lacks the drive too what really makes him successful in this sport. I wanna see some heart out of him.

One thing that does get me going a lilttle as well,if you lose......you lose. What are you going to do. Pre Hopkins Antonio Tarver would rant and rave when the man lost. I think that the B-Hop fight really humbled him as he said you know what the better man won and theres nothing i can do about it. This shows that Tarver has maybe matured over the last 2 years......Quite frankly about time seeing as though the man is ****in 39!!

yeah dude, but then the guy comes out and tries to accuse team hopkins of poisoning him the night before the fight...
