how do you feel about him as a fighter and as a person?

He's not really talked about a great deal over here. No casual fans will know much about him at all.

Popular over here?

I don't know anyone who knows him as Antonio Tarver, a few know of him as Mason Dixon

as a person i dont have a clue, as a fighter, he's the guy who beat Jones jnr when he was good. thats about it.

Who?

I'm serious.... thats would be the general responce.

He's only known by hardcore Boxing fans, I like the guy, seems very friendly outside of the ring. Pretty good fighter in his prime.

He's know by boxing fans otherwise he would only be recognised by anyone who's watched Rocky.

i was watching the primetime PPV and they had tarver give his thoughts on the froch-dirrel fight and it seemed like his personality appeals to the UK. it seems like they enjoyed having him there as a commentator
