Tarver vs. top heavyweights

i think he would give trouble to arreola...
How old is he anyway?

 

Haye is 6"3 78 inch reach

Vitali is 6'7 80 inch reach

Wlad 6'6 81 inch reach


Tarver is 6'2 with A 75 inch reach ..Against the champs he has allot to work with ..

 

Floyd and Manny have a better chance of running their way to a Decision over the heavies than Tarver does at reaching the distance with Wlad, Vitali or Haye. And that's not an exaggeration.

 

Tarver was a good fighter and his frame should be able to handle the extra weight well, but the big problems are that he will be a small heavyweight and he is 41 years old. I don't think he stands any chance against either Klitschko and little chance againt someone like Haye, Chambers, or Povetkin. The rest of the top ten beats him but atleast Tarver doesn't get blown away.

Tarver's best bet at heavyweight is to try to make fights with old guys with big names like Holyfield, Rahman, Toney, Golota, etc. Fights that mean nothing to the division but Tarver has a chance at winning and gets paid well. Taking on the real contenders will only get him beat and not paid as well. Tarver can add some excitement to the division but he won't have an impact on the rankings.

 

None of those guys... So I didn't vote.

 

No one from the list.

 

Punchers chance against them all but boxes the klits to pieces.

 

Vitali Klitschko-No
David Haye-No
Alexander Povetkin-Yes
Tomasz Adamek-Yes
Ruslan Chagaev-Maybe
Eddie Chambers-Yes
Denis Boytsov-Maybe
Nikolai Valuev-No Chance
Alexander Dimitrenko-Yes
Chris Arreola-Maybe

Klitschko, Haye and SNV all knock him out.

Boytsov, Chagaev and Arreola fights could go either way. Tarver has to box and move against all three.

Considering he goes up in weight well, and keeps some decent speed and power he stands a pretty good chance against everyone else, Povetkin being the toughest.

 

All of them beat him

 

If he does well against some contenders and gatekeepers at HW

BHop might join him

 

:rofl

please tell me your kidding about the ones in bold.....

Also, Boytsov, Chagaev, and Arreola would **** Tarvers **** up.....

 

i think he could do something why not if he does what he said and turns it into muscle and his technique is alot better than most but if im honest when he said "greens only interested in digging up corpses" i think thats a sneaky way for him to try and get that cruiserweight fight to happen

 

Looking at how well the likes of Adameck and Haye have done I do not see why Tarver should not do just as well.

Maybe its the fact I have only seen Tarver fight 3 times though

 

Tarver can't punch that hard, and you are out of your damn mind if you think he can "outbox" the klitschkos :deal
