Comments Thread For: Tarver: Lebedev Overrated, No Reason To Fight Him

[The Devil]

Lebedev is a dingleberry.....but Tarver is nothing but a wet fart himself.

[Mr. Invincible]

Tarver sounds a little scared if you ask me.

[Mr. Invincible]

tarver is anything but a coward.........in realty tarver really wants to fight a klitschko. he wants to campaign @ heavyweight. if the labedev fight can happen in america he'll likely take it but labedevs people will want it in Europe.


BTW labedev is indeed overrated. he'll probably get wobbled & stopped against tarver.

Stopped? Tarver did well against Green I'll admit but nothing at all indicates that he can stop Lebedev.

In other words: too much risk and not enough money.

Lebedev is very legit. He got robbed against Huck.

Exactly. Lebedev needs better opponents than once great but over the hill fighters though.

Lebedev is a bum. On top of that, he's a gutless bum as he'd never
close in on a lame Toney and try to take him out. Tarver would kill him inside
of four rounds, period.

[Light_Speed]

It's obvious Tarver is looking to fight Huck, I'm not gonna use the word unify because that would make the IBO title look legit...

[Ravens Fan]

Wow, I had no idea that winning a useless IBO belt could inflate ones head so much. And if Danny Green was a legitimate opponent how is it possible that Lebedev is not?

[Mikhnienko]

Couldn't agree more with Tarver. Lebedev wants no part of Tarver, and unless that is the biggest money fight he can get at 42, no reason to go overseas to knock him out.

Tarver says he will not fight Lebedev and that somehow means Lebedev wants no part of Tarver? Please explain how that logic works.

Floyd was Wobbled by mosley...guess he's a bum

I love NSB

Mayweather was legit wobbled, knees buckles and turned into spaghetti. Lebedev walked into a silod left hook while coming forward which stopped him in his tracks, thats it, no wobble no legs buckling, nothing. I would classify it as him being stunned for a brief second at most. Froch for example was stunned worse by Johnson more than once in their fight.

close fight that could have gone either way. Lebedev probably deserves a rematch, so how about Lebedev fights Huck, Tarver goes after Cunningham, and the winners can fight each other?

No. Huck could have been given 2-4 rounds at most with 4 being quite generous. A fight that should have been scored 117-111 or 116-112 at most is not a fight that could have gone either way. I defy you to tell me which rounds you thought Huck won and explain why he could have been awarded those rounds.

LOL... man, you must love floyd! bringing him into this Cruiserweight convo.


Tarver has no need to fight this dude. Lebedev needs to stop calling out the grandpa's of the boxing world. next thing you know he'll be asking hopkins to go to cruiser to fight him....

Tarver-Lebedev would be a legit CW fight but i prefer if it doesn't happen due to Tarver's age and the way people percieve Denis at this point. He wanted Huck after he got robbed, he wanted Green after Jones but getting top a 10 CW in the ring with him has been a difficult task. Hopefully now with the WBA interm belt people will have incentive to face him.

In other words: too much risk and not enough money.



Exactly. Lebedev needs better opponents than once great but over the hill fighters though.

This pretty much. As i said now with the WBA interm belt people will have incentive to face him and i'm sure he can get a top 10 guy in the ring with him/

[WladIsTheChamp]

Tarver is obviously scared of Lebedev.

[Silencers]

I would be interested in this fight. Tarver better not think his win over Green makes him a major player in the division, Lebedev is a few levels above Green and would have knocked Green out too.
