Why doesn't Tarver get the respect he deseres

[Pak men]

If you think Barrera is too chicken to be a man... You should get yourself down a boxing gym, I guarentee it'll change your views.

So this is how a lame Mexican argues. lol! As opposed to your COWARD Barrera, Tarver accepted the challenge issued by Jones without hesitation, without pause.

What about chicken Barrera? PAC has issued several standing challenges to him over the years and all your chicken Barrera could do is fight noobs like Fana and Peden and hide behind De la Hoya's ass.

Compare those qualities to Tarver and you'll see Tarver is a man, while your Barrera is a *****-wussy.

[Easy-E]

I have no idea why this guy gets no respect from anyone. Boxing writers, judges, fans.. they all screw this guy? How is it that in most P4P lists Tarver doesn't even crack the top 10? How is it that he got screwed of of 3... count em' 3 decisions?(Harding, Jones, and Johnson)

Ive seen many talented fighters in my day(Sugar Ray, Pernell Whitaker, Buddy McGirt, JCC, and Tarver is just as talented as all these guys IMO. Why is it that he gets no respect? Please someone tell me. Is it because he takes rounds off(It seems like) from time to time? Is it because hes probably the ugliest boxer in the sport? Is it because hes a crack addict? Tell me?

tarver isnt as talented as any of those guys, and is considerably less talented than rjj
tarver was not screwed out of the first decision, but he probably should have gotten the nod over johnson
all and all, tarver has had three "big" opponents, and has lost to all of them


oh, and screwed agasint harding???
did u see the fight

BS Tarver got knockdown in the 11th, but still should've won the fight. He was won the most rounds IMO...Anyway Tarver has been a better fighter since then. He just had an off night.

Tarver is a good fighter but no where near the top and definitely shouldn't ever be mentioned among the likes of SRR, Ali, Leanard, etc. He hasn't fought enough to be considered great.

He may be able to talk trash like Ali but he's no where close to Ali in the ring. Hell, I can talk trash just as good but you don't see me on any p4p lists.

I will tell you why tarver gets no respect. It's because as someone put it, he looks like a chocolate covered earth worm.

Even james toney was calling him a chocolate monkey. When you look like that you don't get no respect!

[Diablo]

Tarver being ugly as sin has nothing to do with how good or great he is. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd rate him a 7 as a fighter.

But damn he is ****en ugly. I bet his mom is asshamed of herself.

Tarver was a very good amateur and turned pro relatively late in life. In some ways I view him like I do Rahman as a one hit wonder. If he keeps the pressure on Jones though, he has a good chance to win.

[Chet]

I think an issue with Tarver is that his stamina is questionable, and I dont think he is the smartest fighter in the world.
