I think this is a step in the right direction finally for Woods.

Hope Woods gets the fight. Great fight he had at the weekend.
I'm not sure about Clinton's view on Tarver though - ""I'd sign to fight Tarver tomorrow. People think he's the best in the world so he's the fight I want."
What people think Tarver is best at LH?

I think this is good for Woods, a win would greatly help his credibility and help to set up fights with big names such as Dawson and even Hopkins, should he fight Tarver and mayb one two opponents before challenging Hopkins he might even catch Hopkins shot and add his name to his record.

A step in the right direction for Woods. But saying it isn't enough, the fight still has to be made.

Woods would (no pun intended) beat Tarver handily.

Tarver is so inactive and old to boot.

It would be a win over a pretty well known fighter though not a win against the best in the division by any means.

Totally agree. The likelihood of this fight coming off is slim. Tarver should be fighting Danny Green next and then probably Chad Dawson. Chad actually mentioned,if he cannot get Tarver,he would fight Woods!

Tarver is about 80 years old and has had a similar number of fights to Jermaine Taylor.

I question his mentality in much the same way I question Taylors. There is a lack of hunger there.

Everyone wants to fight tarver because he is old now and beatable (though I wouldnt underestiate him), plus he is the man who beat the man. funny though how youll never hear anyone call out Glen Johnson

[Koori Warrior]

You guys are kidding yourself, if you think Tarver has the fight against Green in the bag! The Green Machine is coming over to WANKSVILLE, AND he is gonna FLOG THAT OVERHYPED FARKING TARVER! Then he will be ready for a Dawson or a Woods bout very happily!

[donnydarkoIRL]

Woods himself is aging tho.

Tarvers name is a valuable asset on any resume tho. It could propel Woods to stardom.

Nothing would propel Woods to stardom - he's just not the type.

Tarver would give him a nice big payday though which is what he deserves.
