    Whenever I saw Tarver fight at LHW, the only fights he really excelled in was against Roy Jones. The rest of the fights, he looked like he was really trying to conserve his energy and looked drained from making weight.

    Will he look better at this weight?

    not at 42. loud mouth douchebag should stick to commentary (he's getting to be my favourite behind the mic) and leave the fight game

    he wasn't nearly as good as he thought he was at 175, at heavy he's going to get destroyed

    I guess we'll find out soon. I'm hoping for a resurgence but I'm not putting money on it.

    Tarver is just too old at this point in time, if he was 5 yrs younger, he could make some noise but not at his old ass age, I don't think his next opponent is anything more than a limited club-fighter, so he probably will win.

    Not only his age but did you see the weigh in pictures, the man is fat... I would be surprised if he wins tomorrow night...

    I believe he'll use his name and get a few more paydays before being exposed. With that said, I do believe that his frame can carry 200+ lbs without any serious problems and being a southpaw will help him have some moderate success against fringe contenders.

    Who knows, if he can string together a couple of wins he'll probably get a shot at Haye...lol.

    If he looked the way he did against Roy 2nd fight, I'd bet on him against Haye.
