Comments Thread For: Antonio Tarver: I Don't Want To See Roy Jones Get Hurt

[Mr. Philadel]

Tarver was also knocked down by an old ass Bernard Hopkins

Chad Dawson dropped Tarver as well!!

[djtmal]

I agree...plus he took a knee in his FIRST fight/lost against Eric Harding....another Philly born fighter!!

secondzout, i thought eric harding was a bogus philly fighter, because eric harding, was giving roy jones all kinds of problems in their fight, only to wuss up about his left arm, causing his trainer to call a doctor, and the doctor deemed the fight to be stopped, then claim in the postfight interview, that roy jones, didn't hit that hard, and that he could have continued...secondzout, eric harding, definitely gets the bogus philly fighter mantle, for that move, my man (word)

He does not have financial problems.

I heard that rumor too, and on another forum, it was disproven.

Keith Idec(writer of this article) says that Tarver has never even been down in any of his 35 professional fights, let alone knocked out.Someone needs to tell Keith that Tarver went down in the 11th in his 1st fight against Eric Harding & in that fight Tarver didn't only suffer his 1st defeat(by UD)but also suffered a broken jaw!!

The ref ruled it a knock down cause the ref claimed that Tarver's glove touched the canvas, but the replay showed it didn't..It was a bad call from the ref.

[mortcola]

Tarver never went down?

He was knocked down while being schooled by Hopkins. Come on!

antonio tarver, really got started late in the professional ranks....so antonio tarver's age, 41, and antonio tarver's total of fights, suggests that antonio tarver, should be just starting to hit the downslide of his career....

secondzout, i knew that there was something wrong with eric harding, saying that he hailed from philly, and fighting roy jones, the way he did...secondzout, when i think of eric harding, i definitely don't hold him in the same regard, as philly fighters like bernard hopkins, smoking joe frazier, bennie briscoe, rocky balboa (lol). hell, even meldrick taylor, when he started getting tagged by the much bigger terry norris, stuck his chin in there, and was willing to take two shots from terry norris, to get inside, to land a fight changing punch...secondzout, i hope eric harding, is somewhere on a philly basketball court, working on his crossover dribble, and looking to switch sports...lol
