    I'd much sooner listen to him than any of the others like Kellerman, Lewis, Farhood, Bernstein, Atlas, Matthews, etc.

    It's a very refreshing change to hear his commentary and analysis. I think poorly talented, overly negative color commentators like Atlas and Matthews have done no good for the popularity of our sport.
    Tarver is amazing. Articulate. Fair. Analytical - you cannot help but love the man. the best commentator ever imho.

        The term has nothing to do with race.
        Oops my bad. Never heard of that expression before and jumped the gun. Apologies.

            He's improving but still stumbles alot and some of his remarks seem rehearsed.

                Haha, just in case it wasn't obvious, I was feigning being offended for parody - LMAO @ that guy doing it in earnest after I'd poked fun at it.



                Later on, people.

                    He's a hundred times better than that idiot Teddy Atlas.

                            I think Roy and Tarver are actually two of the best...

                            Well Roy was...
