I would love to see him knockout a heavyweight. Anyone else think he can pack some power at heavy fighting slow pokes? He looks like he put on some eight, he weighted in at 221 lbs. Thats gotta make you think he was drained his last few fights. Please let him knock out Aguilera, heavyweights need something. He kinda looks like Toney at heavyweight when he first came up, no definition, boderline man boobs. Will he have the stamina?
Didn't even know he was fighting. As it's Tarver I'm guessing 12 rounds snoozefest?
I'm definitely rooting for Tarver. Let's remember that the only 2 guys to beat him recently are Bernard Hopkins and Chad Dawson. I would have rather seen him as a cruiserweight first but I guess he figures that the heavyweights are slower then they've ever been.
History tells me that I'm supposed to be dubious of any Lightheavyweight's chances in the Heavyweight division. Like Amat says, I would have much less anxiety about Tarver fighting at Cruiserweight but there you go...
In terms of ability, I know it sounds simple but I'd expect Tarver to be like a semi old Michael Moorer... I mean he's still relatively fresh for his age, he just can't deal with sharpness and athletism of the apparently more dedicated (or maybe just more suited) individuals at 175lbs.
I wan Tarver to win and win often to expedite his getting a title shot (any title shot) so I can witness Tarver getting KTFO. And I will cheer for ANY title holder against Tarver even the 1 not named Klitschko
I will be willing him on, Tarver is a bit long in the tooth for this, but he seems like a likeable enough person. I wish him well.
You can say what you want about Tarver but even at 41 he has what the hvys lack bigtime. Charisma, the dude can chat it up and delivers himself on microphone, markets self. That said I don't give him a snowballs chance in hell of making a huge splash and last in division but his name is what got him here and he's not been taking beatings or damage. He'll end up an opponent for some bigger fish or young gun? Who's on undercard?
Tarvers kicking the shit outta this guy with a hurt left shoulder.
So you think he brings anything to the table at heavyweight?Quote:

You're in luck, I bet the Klits would love to fight Tarver.Quote:

Before they fight Wlad should ask Tarver if he ever saw Rocky 4
Well he struggled with a 51yr old ex champion in Blaboa how does he expect to get through the others?...Clubber is making a comeback and Gunn despite what happened a few years ago over in front of Balboas house has been solid ever since....In fact he is still undefeated to loss on his record proved to be a false negative :-XQuote:

Aguilera wasn't much of an opponent. He was tough and game but his dumb fat ass kept walking himself back in a corner and sitting their trying to hit Tarver with a counter right hand.Quote:
