green v tarver is on

[COULDHAVEBEEN]

He looks flabby in the pic - weight will fall off that body easily if he trains properly - and 14 weeks is plenty for a guy that's been at the lower weight most of his life.

[ipswich express]

As you know mate, 16kg in 14 weeks is nothing really, especially when you're overweight to begin with. I'm sure these negotiations were started a while ago, so there's nothing to say he's not already training and attempting to curb his weight.

Like I said, I really hope he's lighter than 200lbs anyway mate. His stamina and speed will be better, if he is. I think it'd be great to see Tarver come in at a fairly lean 185lbs. He'd carry the weight well.

[buster007]

he would already be training.

he has plenty of time.

look at the pic above, the only training for that weight was eating hamburgers all day.

it would be a piece of piss to make 200. so stop being drama queens u haters

very true, im just very sceptical of Danny & his team in doing anything and everything in their power to gain an advantage over an opponent. Ill give Danny props for getting a big name out here but it also would have been nice to see him fighting someone active and not at the end of their career, i guess thats my sceptizism again but you really cant blame anyone for that other than Danny "waving DVD in the Air" Green.

I nver really liked Green to begin with being a Mundine fan but when he waved that DVD around like we were all retards and he had the cure i lost what little respect i did have for the guy and reading his book just makes me dislike him even more because of how much of a hypocrite liar he is.

If this fight doesnt go through my prediction is Cameron will be the replacment and was planned to be all along.

[rusty nails]

good competitive fight.
for those whingeing i want to hear it now that tarver has no chance? whos willing to say it now and not wait to have a big cry about "washed up useless tarver" AFTER danny gets his hand raised?

[shiner]

I am just sceptical about tcoxsuka know anything about boxing? or even ever getting vaguely close to a boxing ring?

Look at tarver in press pics from today, no way he's at 100kg. he's know about the fight for 3 months so has had plenty of time to start shedding.

Agree mate...just saw the fox sports news interview...he had a jacket on but didnt look fat in the face....Im looking forward to this one for sure

[WhataRock]

Not bad...not bad.

[T.C.W]

I like this fight, if tarver comes in under 200 pounds, it will be a good fight.

[mrdoctor]

the story in the play here is who ever wins get a shot at bhop....considering bhop will win his next fight.....green wins this and makes $$$$$ and sets him up for another fight with huge $$$$$$$ or he can retire....might even be his swan song.
green wins by ko.....

Imo people on this board are selling Antonio Tarver short in this match up. I will make a few points -

* This is one opponent where a 185 catchweight won't hurt them against Green. As others have said that is probably Tarvers best weight nowadays and he was fat and puffy at 221 in his last fight.

* Imo Tarver is easily the biggest puncher Danny Green has fought.

* No chance Green hurts/stops Tarver. Legends of the sport haven't, he has a granite chin at or around light heavyweight.

* Tarver is a naturally bigger man than Green. Taller plus he is a southpaw.

* Lets be honest here, Tarver even at 42 is much more skillful than Danny Green.

Provided the judges are fair then i think Tarver can win this fight.

Green too is at the end of his career and it will be about
7 months since the Flores fight when they fight.im not
Greens biggest fan but this is a good fight IMO.
if there is no dannyweight/incentive bonus shennanigans
which there shouldnt be because Tarver wouldnt be short of a quid.

[Francis75]

I can't wait to hear Tarvers mouth at the press conferences etc etc.

[TCboxa]

just watched the fox presser on their site, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Tarvers not looking to bad, hard to tell by just looking at his face but it does look promising. I hope Tarver knocks Danny the fck out.

Bernard just signed a three fight deal with HBO. The first fight is his rematch with Pascal, the second is a contractually obligated fight against Chad Dawson as long as he beats Diaconu on the undercard. BHop is tied up for a while so I can't see the winner of Tarver Green fighting Bernard any time soon.
