    Tarver is lazy and an average, yet skilled fighter. He's also not really that smart either. However, the lightheavy weight division is pretty weak right now, so he might reign it if he beats Johnson. However, if he does beat Johnson, I wanna see him go to heavyweight and fight Toney.

        Seriously, you think that Johnson-Tarver was one of the more controversial decisions of recent memory? Was is Augustus/Burton? Ruiz-Golota? De La Hoya-Sturm? De La Hoya-Mosley II?

        Can you honestly say that it was controversial as those fights of "recent memory"?

        Uh...no.

        Look Tarver could have won that fight- but he didn't.

        I don't remember anyone calling for an investigation over that fight. Johnson got his props.

        Just my thoughts.

          Tarver has strenght but nothing else. Even in the rematch with Harding.... Eric was giving him the busines but yet again Tarver got lucky and hit him. The dude hits hard but thats it. He refuses to move up in weight ---- he is a talker. He should go see McCormick or Big Truck then and only them will I give him props

            Okay. For one, Augustus/Burton is 1 person. How is he going to fight himself? And are you talking about Floyd? Because no, that fight was not controversial. That was an incredible performance by Him and Floyd.......slight edge goes to Floyd.

              Uh no....I was referring to COURTNEY Burton...and the travesty that was that decision. I need you to focus and take one thing at a time. Thanks for playing.

                Tarver could knock out Johnson...he just needs to put power on his punches which he has but he rather tries boxing to a decision

                  hmm

                  1) Beating a faded Roy Jones does not make you great. Good? Maybe, but that's even disputable.

                  2) The first fight was not controversial. It was close. Mayorga-Forrest II is a similar example of a non-controversial fight. Close fight does not equal controversy. People are quick to throw this owrd out there.

                  3) No one told Tarver he had to fight like an amateur in his last fight. He slapped at times with his punches while Johnson was digging. This could explain in part why Tarver did not get the decision.

                  4) Even if Tarver wins the rematch, so what? Glen Johnson is a hard working machine but he is clearly past his prime as well. He has had a long, tough career. Tarver has not.

                    I agree with that.

                      Yeah, he would have little trouble in doing so. He fought the wrong fight last time. Johnson is a washed up nobody.....Tarver is an elite fighter. Plain and Simple. Johnson has heart, determination etc.....So does Arturo Gatti. LOL.
