    Tarver is great now?

    I keep hearing on different threads about how great Antonio Tarver is and quite franly I don't understand it, take away what I consider to be a lucky punch victory over Jones and this cat has done what? Sorry, but Tarver ain't no superstar unless him running his mouth about how ferkin great he is somehow makes him one. Tarver needs to do a lot more than what he's done to be one of boxing's elite, i'll be very surprised if he gets past Glenn Johnson.

      I wont be surprised if he gets past GJ. But I still think that he has A LOT more to do to be able to become great.

        ya hell get by GJ
        but that wont mean squat to me either
        there is no LH he can beat at this point to merit me considering him an elite
        maybe if he moves up to the HW and beats a good guy

          He probably beat Jones the first time, then did the second. He's got a great record, disposed of Eric Harding and Montell Griffin - he's a legitimate p4p candidate - I think the Ring has him overrated, but he deserves to be mentioned when compiling the list.

            I would wait for several more fights before I decide if he really deserve to be in my elite list.

              i don't know if he should be in the P4P list...but for sure he's not in my "I will pay to see him fight" list.

                He never faced the real RJJ.

                  Maybe not, but to be fair, he tried to.

                    The only way he headlines a PPV is if he fights Hopkins. Otherwise, he's an undercard or a free fight. If Roy Jones would foolishly schedule him for his return match, it would be PPV too I guess.
