    Well, Tarver is less proven and more of a joke at heavyweight than Shannon Briggs, the former linear HW champion. At least Briggs has that KO of Lyakhovich to win the WBO title, and has the most first round KOs in HW history.

    And Showtime refused to show Peter-Klitschko...

    ...yet Peter KOed Aguilera in round 2, and Aguilera has lost again since then. And Wlad is the current Ring, WBO and IBF HW champion.

      But, he is fighting the great Nagy Aguilera man.

      The guy that made Peter a legit opponent for Wlad the Ring/lineal champ.

      You have to show the great Nagy Aguilera

        Then why not Peter-Wlad?

        How is Aguilera better than Peter? How is Tarver a better heavyweight than Wlad?

        Aguilera isn't very good. Peter isn't great, but he's much better than Aguilera. So why is Aguilera on TV?

        Briggs isn't great, but he's better than Aguilera too. And who is the more credible heavyweight, Vitali Klitschko or Antonio Tarver?

          Because, it didn't have the great Nagy Aguilera.

          I mean all I heard from Klitschko fans like Kenso and Steelhammer(your alt?) was that Peter worked his way back and earn the right by KO'ing Nagy freakin Aguilera. Like if Aguilera is an impressive fighter. Dude is a level below journey man. So for Peter to get shot just cuz of that KO is ridiculous line of thinking by Wlad fans. Is a same that Wlad for being such a good fighter has idiotic fans.

          In all seriousness bro, Vitaly-Briggs, Vitaly-Sosnowski, Wlad-Peter, Wlad-Chisora, and Tarver-Nagy are all joke of a fights. They should not be on premium cable network television.

          However, the only reason Showtime is throwing Tarver a bone is because he works for the company. I mean come on, what is to question here?

            So you approve of them showing Aguilera-Tarver but you would not approve of them showing Peter-Wlad or Briggs-Vitali?



            Your prejudice against white boxers is very transparent. Why not be honest and admit you hate the Klitschkos because they're white?

            You racist bastard.

              Because showtime wants to show us two fat people go at it then two fit fighters. Tarver will win most likely but I doubt he'll look impressive since he put on alot of fat instead of any muscle when moving up in weight.

                And, for the life of me I don't understand why ROA aka MIB goes out of his way to defend your ass.

                Who says I approve anything? The question by the TS is why they're are showing this fight and not the other. And, the answer is pretty damn simple and obvious. Is because Showtime is throwing Tarver a bone because he works for them. Is it that hard to understand?

                In another thread in which you kind of agreed with when I said that Boytsov could have the potential to be the heir apparent to the K bros. What race is Boytsov? I was very adamant in YOUR OWN thread that Wlad should pick Dimitrenko over Chisora. What race is Dimitrenko? We both were in agreement when Bute KO'd Andrade that he was the best 168 pounder in the world. Over the likes of Ward and Froch and etc etc.... What race is Bute.

                Are you that ******ed? Is not about the race. I could careless what race they're. Wlad fighting Peter and Chisora is a joke, Vitaly fighting Sosnowski and Briggs is a joke. Tarver fighting Aguilera is a joke. But, to answer the question is because Tarver works for Showtime and that is al there is to it.

                  Yes. One reason the Klitschkos are excellent representatives of the sport is they are always fit.

                  Tarver looks soft, and Aguilera is chubby. If either fought a physically fit HW like say, Timor Ibragimov, they would surely lose.

                    For the record I gave a response earlier listing some other reasons as well but I agree with jrosales13 that this fight is a joke and the main reason for them showing it is because he's an employee.
