    After Tarver/Johnson then what???

    What do you guys think the winner of this match will do in the future...Besides a possible match up with Roy Jones later in the year I dont kno what eles would be good for either Tarver or Johnson...I think Tarver Should move up and get in the Heavy wieght mix or atleast cruiser cuz there is no one of any sinifigance at 175 beside Tarver and Johnson... So what do yall think the winner of this match will do next besides Roy??

    If Tarver wins, a 3rd fight would be best. The light heavyweight division is weak for sure, but I don't think either of these guys would do much at heavyweight.

    A 3rd fight would be their best bet for a big payday.

    If Johnson wins, maybe he fights Hopkins again?

      Yeah I think Tarver will win 2night so maybe they will have a 3rd but if Tarver KOs him then I dont see the need for a 3rd fight seeing as Johnson won a very very close desicion in the 1st fight..After this I think Tarver should go to heavywieght...He walks around at 200 i believe he said after the 2nd Jones fight and He is a 6'2 fighter..I think he can beat a few contenders maybe take Ruiz's belt like everyone else does...But Tarver is 36 he needs big paydays thats why I think he should move up if he wins impressivley 2night..as for Johnson i dont care what he does i dont see nothing special about him besides his constant pressure he aint that good..

        Just going to heavyweight doesn't guarantee a big payday. There is no heavyweight out there that would guarantee Tarver a seven figure check, unless the network or promoter wants to take a very big chance.

        Ruiz and Byrd hold belts and still make 300,000 or so per fight...

            The light heavyweight division has been poor for several years. When does the time will come that this division will be interesting like the one in the jr welterweight, welterweight and jr middleweight?

              If Johnson wins a fight with Hopkins is a sure thing.

              If Tarver wins a 3rd fight with Johnson or a move to cruiser to take on Mormeck.

                I think that both Tyson and RJJ needs a win, so why not face them vs each other.

                Glen and Antonio can stick around, if Tarver wins which I think he will this time around, there should be a 3rd
