Not meaning to knock him down a peg in relation to Calzaghe.... He's career is defintely more elustrious than Joe's..... But truth be told n all that.
No one considered Tarver a weak champion before the Hopkins fight, like i said earlier Hopkins moved up 2 weight classes to take on Tarver after Hopkins was coming off 2 losses. He deserves all the credit in the world, and i think people are forgetting how many were picking Hopkins to lose, and how many were picking Tarver to win, Hopkins was the big underdog and absolutely shut out Tarver winning every round and gave out a masterclass.

And then we all realised Taver is shite
