  • Tarver and Johnson Overated

    I try to tell my friend JPBoxer that these guys are solid fighters but nothing special. They both are living off of wins over a washed up RJ. HBO was trying to talk this fight up like it was great, but to me it was boring for the most part and both seemed to be out of gas after the fifth. JPBoxer tried to tell me that Johnson was a World Class fighter because he beat Jones and Clinton Woods. He said that if he beat Tarver then he would put him ahead of Floyd. I told him that Woods was a nobody, Jones was wahed up and Tarver is overated and just living off the Jones win. Tarver should have never been ranked that high in the #for# rankings. Like I said, both of them are solid but nothing special and should not be ranked in the #for# rankings.

    Tarver was high on the p4p list, but won't be after tonight, even if he had won he would have slipped.

    Lt. heavy is pretty weak, but so are heavy and cruiser.

    Most of the top p4p's are between 126-160.

          I agree. Tarver was being placed in the top five of some P4P lists. Ridiculous, He's Vernon Forrest.

            I am a fan of both of them and more of Johnson. I like them alot and I think their good fighters, just not #for#. Theres nothing wrong with not being #for#. Theirs a million fighters and only a few make it. Their both probally in the top 20

              Johnson beat two of the very best in his division in a 4month span.Yes,Jones was shot and Tarver is overrated but they were the best and Johnsons beat them both.Right now,he has got to be considered a top10 p4p fighter,Comeback Fighter of the Year and not to mention The Fighter of the Year.

                Johnson's made a great comeback, but to put him in the company with guys who have fought careers with only a couple losses or less isn't quite fair.

                He's more on a "streak."

                  but he fought many more fights

                  boxing was also a part time business for GJ

                  he made his living as a construction worker (!!!)

                  so, taking a close look at his career, GJ is quite exeptional

                    completely agree
                    tonite they showed that roy jones was done
                    this fight was plain awful
                    after the fifth the "skill" was gone
                    it was just two old bumbs tryin to make it to the end

                    like ya said
                    they are good
                    and maybe, says volumes about thier weak ass division,
                    the best in lhw
                    but they are still nothin special
                    by a long shot

                    they are absofreakinloty no where near being p4p bests
                    just chumps that beat a p4p king
