        I actually think he "retires" specifically until opportunities like this pop up.
        James Toney wanted to do the same thing but unfortunately for him he end up not getting the big fight and he ended up losing on Britains, Prizefighter by the hand of his old former sparring partner BUM!

          Tarver looked good against Banks because he is a skilled veteran, while Banks fights as a hobby. Jonathan should have attacked Antonio's doughy middle. If Tarver fights a young full-time boxer who has actual skill, he will get a wake up call, & that will be that.

            I'd like to see Tarver in with a top twenty guy before he tries to get a title shot. He could target Lucas Browne, Alexander Ustinov, Marius Wach

              Huck says he wants too move up.

                it means nothing, but tarver is a better fighter and a bigger name than pianeta, marc mormeck, and leapai. if wlad can fight them, he can fight tarver.

                just after Jennings,fury,wilder,stieverne

                  Yes, Tarver should beat a couple of contenders/fringe contenders before being given a title shot.

                  Arreola would be ideal as his next opponent.

                      I wonder if there's really a chance of Tarver vs. Haye happening?
