Tarver's legacy

Tarver is a good fighter, but nothin more than that. Had he turned pro sooner, I think he woulda been worse off actually. His legacy is based off RJ. Fightin him at his prime or fightin Hill and the other top LHW's at that time, Tarver woulda got beat.

What big fights down the road were they trying to set up to give him 2 wins over Toney?

The Magic Man
RJJ
The Executioner
Lights Out
The Road Warrior
I think it would sell quite well tbh.

I like the idea too. I think it would be interesting to see if Tarver can make it well fighting above his usual weight. He was always a skinny guy altho he had the height to fight above 175. At the Rocky Balboa filming he had bulked up for real, weighed around 218! But since speed was a vital part of his game, I dunno how he would do if he were weighed down by muscles and unable to use that asset. Toney and Road Warrior would thrive, since they are not known as fast fighters, Toney used to be quite fast in his prime, but after he left 168 he wasn't anymore.
