    Balboa's face was able to brake his wrist. And the Rock was washed up by 06. He's a commentator. He should stick to commentating.

        If Tarver carries his speed, power, and skills, he will do pretty good.

        If he can, at the very least, Tarver can beat Adamek and/or Haye.
        Tarver would never beat Haye! Haye is too big, powerful and quick for Tarver.

        He should move to Cruiserweight, there's a lot of good fights there e.g. Cunningham, Huck, Green, Flores, Afolabi, Lebedev, and Hernandez.

          It's smart money wise for him to fight at heavyweight. I'm sure he'll make more in one fight against Haye/Adamek/Klitschko than he would announcing at Showtime for 5 years.

          He should stick with announcing though, he's excellent at it. He's what you want a fighter as an announcer to be.

            He said he wanted to fight at Cruiser to fight Green but he said something like "He's too busy digging up dead bodies to fight"...

              None whatsoever. I thought he was smarter than this.

                I'd like to see Tarver as a heavyweight. Am I the only one?...

                  I don't think it's a great idea, Tarver has the height to carry the weight OK if he builds it on right but his body type isn't exactly the type of body that carries a lot of muscle, he could end up being pretty soft around the middle at heavyweight. There are some interesting options for him there though and he might be able to make some decent paydays before retiring.

                      Quicker than the version of Roy Jones he beat up on 1 occasion and knocked out in another?

                      That said, Tarver isn't at that stage of his career anymore, but he still has a lot of what he came in with because he relies on skills and they're still somewhat sharp.

                      If Tarver's chin can take a heavyweight punch, he will give Haye more of a fight than he's gotten at heavyweight. His lateral movement would be Tarver's biggest problem.

                      If Tarver fights anyone, but the Klits, he will further expose how weak the heavyweight division is.
