    He's no spring chicken.

    How do you all think he is going to fare? Does he have enough left to be a top 5 HW on the current scene?

    :?

    I think that baby in your avatar can be top 5 in the current heavyweight landscape.

    He's a smart, durable fighter. He may surprise us. I don't think he'll do much though.

    I think Tarver could, and will, get two or three solid wins before getting taken out by one of the big dogs (Wlad and Vitali, followed far behind by Adamek, Haye, and Povetkin).

    Dude, Jaguar, your avatar picture is ****ing AWESOME!!! And sadly, completely true. You've got to have the "Insta-Fringe: Take after facing Pacquiao. This will immediately turn you into a fringe legit-champion, a fringe all-time great or a fringe hall of famer."

    Will be interesting to watch him fight a live fighter, but no chance Vs. Vitali or Vlad by any means.

    He was a pretty lanky LHW, will be interesting to see him wearing the extra weight. I don't see him beating any of the top contenders though, let alone champions.

    I think Tarver gets his ass kicked by some tub, and I'm not a Tarver hater. I just don't think he has anything left.

    wasn't he like "I'm a young 42" or some bull****?

    The dude is kidding himself.

    He's not really 42, is he? I was thinking 39 or 40?
