i know, but that doesnt change the fact he wanted to let joe tire himself out and got ****ed up as would tarver
It does when you're talking about an effective fighter who is gonna fight back with some pop...... not the shell of a former great. What do you think Tarver in his prime would have done to Jones of 2008?
that was a better roy jones than the 1 tarver fought in the 3rd fight and jones could have stopped him that last round this is a dumb thread, tarver might give joe some problems but no way in hell does he beat joe
That's laughable man... I'm not a Tarver fan at all but the guy has a tremendous beard. What Joe would throw a power slap in the 3rd and knock Tarver out when guys like Dawson, Johnson, Harding who have decent power couldn't? atsch
:deal i mean c'mon. calzaghe shits on tarver. h2h he outworks him & makes him look b-class with his speed & footwork. resume vs resume calzghe shits on him too. this is absolutely no contest.
calzaghe never really fought any southpaws at all. not to mention tarver's a tall, defensive southpaw. this is a pick 'em fight imo. not sure if joe's activity would get through antonio's defense.
Yeah but I dont know how they made it close with Rocky going down 4 times in the entire fight. Even 20 years retired Rocky beats Joe's B-hop and Jones. In the same night.
I dont even care to argue the point when Jones was more shot. Does it matter? Jones was s h o t when he faught Calzaghe. The win means nothing. Joe even said so in his book....you know 3 years before he fought him. Why would you put any kind of value on that win?
atsch Fantastic troll thread. Easy Calzaghe win. Remember this prime Tarver was beaten by Harding , beaten by double figure losses G Johnson, beaten by the worse drained version of Jones Jnr ever and beaten by Hopkins, who guess what.... Calzaghe beat, along with Jones . The key to knowing what a great fighter Calzaghe was is that so many like yourself cant accept he beat American legends Hopkins and Jones along with Brewer, Mitchell, Lacy, Sheika, Manfredo etc. Tarvers losses to Dawson look worse than ever now. Tarver was beaten by gatekeepers like Johnson and Harding. Calzaghe was never beaten. America has to accept it and learn to live with the fact that Calzaghe beat Hopkins and Jones. Move on. Clear easy Calzaghe win
Depends where the fight was and when....Tarver beats him in the states as would a prime ROy or a prime Hop..... Calzaghe on home turf with Dave paris the referee may win via stoppage throwing slapping punches overwhelming not hurting ala Peter Manfredo ...and get the premature stoppage
the tarver who was amped up for either of the jones fights would wipe his ass with calslappy. who did joe beat? the only top prime fighter he ever beat was kessler.
Ignorance again atsch. Who did Tarver ever beat? He lost to Harding, double figure losses Johnson, the worst Jones, Hopkins and the losses to Dawson now looks worse than ever. Remember Calzaghe beat Hopkins. As for prime fighters Calzaghe beat, the list goes on Kessler, Lacy, Veit, Bika, Reid, Woodhall, Brewer, Mitchell etc to name a few. I could make sensible arguements about Jones and Hopkins that would blow you out the water. Now what prime fighters did Tarver beat? This should be good
