I agree, why not? There are no serious HW's out there, so why not give Tarver a shot? Maybe another couple of fights and he could be in line. It is no reflection on Tarver's ability, but more a picture of just how dire the HW landscape is. A sad, sad division full of pot bellies, limited talented, and failed ambition.
haye v tarver in 2015..... :S..... it could happen
You are kidding? Please tell me you are joking.
Hayve v tarver was talked about last year I am pretty sure and he said he wants to fight haye next year ... Haye seems to be trying to jump over to america too, Tarver is still fairly famous even though he was fighting a semi retired fellow he still got a thread here and was on tv. He is also pretty old and naturally a small guy so it would be an easy opponent for haye to blow away and start the merry go round again :S...Quote:

It was great seeing his fatass KO Banks last the other night. Nothing against Banks, but he threw that second fight with Seth Mitchell and he was essentially pulling the same passive shit again.
Tarver is a big mouth bullshitter, but he could be a test for young guys like Wilder or Jennings.
Antonio Tarver: BUM. I'd love to see him get starched by a real HW. Banks is fucking awful.
If Banks does not move back to Cruiser or LH, then he is effectively a trainer now. Which ain't bad, because he is an EXCEPTIONAL trainer.
Teddy Atlas was talkin' shit during the fight, saying that if Banks lost then Wlad may lose respect for him. Like Wlad is a fucking idiot and doesn't know the difference between training and fighting.
:lickish:
I heard that. I think he may lose respect, not for getting knocked out or losing but for the lack of desire. Im pretty sure he'd rather have seen Banks throwing the kitchen sink at Tarver trying to win than not doing a great deal.Quote:

But yeah he looked like a fucking bum out there, a boring bum, if you didn't know he was a great trainer, you never watch him and be like "that guy has it figured out, I want him to teach me."

How about Tarver vs Briggs in the Battle of the Mouth with the winner fighting Fury? :p
Manny Steward never boxed professionally... Eddie Futch either... and Freddie Roach was a punching bag for most of his career... Virgil Hunter never had a professional fight... and Nazim Richardson's boxing record as a competitor isn't anything that stood out... and, Teddy Atlas never had one professional fight and was a shitty amateur to boot.
Teddy is just full of shit, and probably wants to take Banks's job. lolol...
Banks is timid.
Atlas is wrong about Banks though when you are in shape and the division is crap it is worth having a go and he did beat Seth Mitchell.
Briggs needs to shit up Tarver. Lets go champ!
Yes I second that. But, if Briggs landed the left hook cleanly then Tarver may not see age 47.Quote:

Yes beat Banks on Friday after being banned for over a year.Quote:
