Clinton Woods vs. Antonio Tarver in May?

always been a big fan of Clinton Woods, he's not the most talented man in the world but he puts his heart in the middle of the ring every time he fights. And I don't think there's many people with a better chin than him either. I'd give him a good chance against anyone a Lt heavyweight, Chad Dawson, Zsolt Erdei and Antonio Tarver.

Since they discovered that iron deficiency with woods he's a lot more stamina, i really fancy him against Tarver, i know woods aint no B-Hop but he's a solid fighter if he fights like he did agianst Gonzalez/JonsonIII he's in with a real chance.

this will be a tough fight for woods, could go either way - but a good move for clinton.

If Tarver is overrated, than what does that make Woods? Considering he lost twice (the draw was a loss) to Johnson and couldn't do nothing against Jones.

what do you mean what does that make Woods? Who overrates him exactly? Hardly anybody rates Woods over Tarver so I can't really see your point. I know he's a British fighter and alll... but come on. ::**

Oh and he won first time round.

Yeah, it should be a good match up if it comes off... could go either way to be honest, I think it's the best fight out there for both of them.

If Woods fought RJJ I don't think he could win, even if Jones is supposedly shot (which I don't think is 100% true) stylistically it's just a hard fight for Woods.

I agree Jones is still slick, too slick for woods anyways. He should stay away from Jones an try get a couple of paydays thanks to the belt starting with Tarver.

Woods looked brilliant last time out and seems really heavy handed with that right uppercut nicely developed these days.
Woods would have a real go at him and i think he could even beat him (tarver) ;)

Why does one stale fighter love to fight another?

Im glad Dawson is showing the form he is.

i'm definately picking woods here. UD.
i don't think woods is the recognised man at light heavy but if beats tarver i can see him gaining a lot more respect

Tarver has been exposed for as great he is not. The verdict is still out on RJJ, although Woods must be chomping at the bit for a rematch.

I'd back Clinton to beats Jones 07. Just do what Johnson did, keep punching and he will fall. Great payday but means nothing.
