    Glen and Antonio can stick around, if Tarver wins which I think he will this time around, there should be a 3rd
    I'd love to see that fight now, since the Mcbride fight it makes me think that even a Light Heavy can KO Tyson.

      Ruiz and Byrd hold belts and still make 300,000 or so per fight...
      I agree but I believ he will make more at heavy no matter how much that more is...other than Johnson there are no big fights for tarver unless Jones comes back so why not move to heavy..

        They should fight the title holders at Lt Heavyweight. Lt Heavyweight is one of the most prestigious weight classes in boxing. It is all screwed up right now because every sanctioning body has a different champion, same as at heavyweight.

So what do yall think the winner of this match will do next besides Roy??
          TARVER vs braithwaite would be cool

          and hopkins vs johnson at light heavy..I dont think johnson should move up anymore

              Just because a guy has never been shown on TV in the United States does not mean he is a bad fighter, or a sub par fighter, or a paper champion. Calzaghe has never been televised in the US and he has been the reigning Ring Magazine Supermidleweight Champ for several years, even though he only holds the WBO title. It is all about politics and who you are promoted by and ****.

                  My point is that Tarver and Johnson are Lt heavyweights. They should fight the Lt heavyweight title holders. What the f***k is the point of them fighting a guy like Braiwathe. And Mormeck would eat either of these guys for breakfast in my opinoin, and this is not to mention the Lt Heavyweight division is a much more prestigious one than the cruiserweight division is.

                  Tarver maybe could be successfull as a heavy but he is already pretty old, Johnson on the other hand, not a chance at heavy.

                      He should fight Adamek or Kessler or Clinton Woods. I dont know why people think that after this fight that Johnson or Tarver should leave this weight class to fight old man Hopkins or a guy like Braiwaithe.
