This is what they say about Tarver ....."Tarver's been telling everyone within screaming range that he's the guy who will whip Roy Jones. Soon he'll get his chance -he's Jones mandatory chalenger accoding to the IBF, and all indications are that Jones is ready to sign. So the question becomes after he's LOST to Jones - we have to assume it will turn out that way,don't we? -do we think Tarver has the gumption and the ability to do great things that will some day lead to Canstota ? That's the question. The answer is, doubtful. He's had less than 20 fights and hasn't really been pushed and yes he's fast,boxes well , and he's a southpaw [Jones just can't escape them apperently]. But there seems very little special about him. He may turn out to be something very good. We doubt it" .

"Here's why Berrera when he fell twise to Junior Jones . Not because the defeats were sinificant ,but because they took away his confidence.Yes he fought wonderfully aganst Morales. Well enogh to win in the eyes of most observers . But he wasn't the same guy who fought Kennedy McKinney almost to the death. That Barrera loved the combat,and that Barreara was on his way to the hall.The one who fought Marales cringed whenever a punch came close . He dosn't handle losing well. He'll continue to win , maybe some big fights. But his best days are probably behind him ".
