    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?

    Yeah, he can definately outbox most heavys. I wanna see him step up a lil bit before I say that because he really wasnt caught too flush in that fight. Tarver, on the other hand was landing his shots alot, and even though he rocked Aguilera, those kinds of shots should be dropping people. Maybe Aguilera has a chin, I dunno.

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

    I was rooting for him though after seeing the fight the HW division weak as it is has no place for Tarver...He looked oput of shape and old.....Hopefully though he stays mon SHO as an announcer

    Nice guy. He's going to be someones stepping stone marketed on charisma and big fight history...and at 41 with no power and prone to injury,he'll get beat up badly.

    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.

    After 9 rounds of that shit it finally dawned on the stupid bastard that he is SLOWER than Tarver and a much worse boxer and thus was never going to land a counter right hand on him...
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
