    My head hearts from all the talk of Tarver @ Heavyweight

    The man has the style to frustrate a less than confident Roy Jones Jr and out flurry a relentless Johnson, but he doesn't have the natural talents and gifts of a Jones or Toney to make it at HW. Tarver relies on a southpaw stance, long jab, and strong left hand to control LHW. Yet when that was not working vs Johnson, he resorted to just throwing pitty pat flurries to take rounds in the rematch. I don't see where anyone gets the idea that Tarver can do anything at HW. Just because he is 6'1, everyone thinks he fits in perfectly. I even think a Jeff Lacy would give him trouble. I can only see him getting blown out by the first HW he fights.

    Jones and Toney have the styles to frustrate a HW slugger, Tarver has the style to frustrate a smaller stylist. Chris Byrd is the only "stylist" at HW and Tarver would have no chance in my eyes there.

    He knows his heart of all hearts that he can do whatever he sets his mind to.

      Tarver should not go to heavyweight, he will make a big mistake if he does...
