If Tarver didn't say a word he would have been a bigger star then he is now. One of the reasons Tarver is near "bolivion" is because he talks so much. If he was just respectful like "It's so great to have the opportunity to fight Roy Jones Jr. I can only hope that we both come out of it ok and may the best man win" And he went to have 3 fights with Roy in which he won 2 then he would have been more welcomed by the fans. Doesn't he understand that humble can sell tickets too as long as they deliver? Tarver talks like he has talent and power that he doesn't. If he was respectable and wasn't always complaining all the time then he may be somewhere. If Tarver was quiet I guarantee you he would have been a bigger star.

Then again I agree with the majority that say if Roy had retired after the first tarver fight neither of their careers would have been hurt.

In a perfect world Roy retires after answering all the questions people had about him in his career in the first Tarver fight and Tarver and Glen Johnson would fight for that spot keeping the division unified.

And Hopkins retires after getting his draw with Jermain Taylor in the first fight, and Taylor Pavlik and Miranda and a few others all had a Middleweight tournament to see who would warn those belts.

But sadly this isn't a perfect world

The Light Heavyweight division is almost as screwed up as the heavyweights now in terms of the belts and people up there

And Jermain Taylor is gonna fight Pavlik again in a battle not for the belts and they are both on the move up possibly about to leave the middleweight division in the same place.
