    I'm going to have to disagree with my man ibox. Tarver is a great fighter, who has horrible luck and is lazy. He ruined the mystique of RJJ, the 2nd fight, calling him out when Nady asks if anybody has questions, then putting him in a coma inside 2 rounds, that was unbelievable. Yeah, Hopkins shut him down. But Tarver is a really special fighter imo, because he has a granite chin, really good power, and is diverse with his attacks. He is also a skilled boxer. His problem is he doesn't always have his head on straight, but he's one of my fav. boxers. I think he'd murk Calzaghe.

        You probably should take the time to see your optometrist next week.

          Even though I hate both more than anything. I'd have to say I'd root for Calzaghe. Tarver is just a one-hit wonder and I can't wait until Bad Chin Chad exposes Tarver for what he really is. There's not really one thing Tarver does well, he was Tailor made for jones(plus jones was out of his prime and drained and still made alll 3 fights competitive), Tarver thinks he's an ATG lhw when in reality he's not fit to wash the jockstrap of Archie Moore, Michael Moorer, Michael Sp[inks, or a prime roy.

            Hmm. Me too, except the very last part. Haha. Tarver is an enigma, how can the man who outboxed Jones three times also be the same man who put in that awful performance against Hopkins? It's crazy.

                  man you're another one of those foolish people that think Tarver is complete garbage... I just can't take anything you say seriously. I'd have to root for Tarver though.

                    because he is, he's so damn ****y after beating roy and then loses a 12 round whitewashing to b-hop(a former middle wait jumping up 15 pounds to fight him. Not only is it b-hops first fight at lhw, the man is ****ing 42, B-hop even hurts several times throughout the fight. Then after being thoroughly beaten, Tarver says he was poisoned, His Orange juice was bad, the food at the hotel he stayed at was bad, he was weight drained from dropping the muscle he put on for the rocky movie(watch the movie, it was alll fat) and the list goes on.
