    Tarver beat a pretty decent number of guys who were considered top fighters at 175 at the time.

    His resume is a lot deeper than Pavlik's.

    very unfair to Tarver to put him in the same bracket as Pavlik.

    i'll say i see the comparison but pavlik's career is not over yet. it isn't what most thought it would be but he's still got time to turn things around

    tarver, as has been repeatedly said, was a great amateur and was rightly voted by ring as the lhw of the decade. i hate the guy but he's got talent

    Nope no comparison at all, Tarver beat alot of the top guys and took on all comers at LHW. Pavlik beat Taylor, beat a few bums then got schooled by B-Hop, beat another few bums then got schooled by a 154lber.

    you lot are full of ****

    all tarver has on his record is a win over roy jones.

    what else is on his resume?

    a win over griffin after he was over the hill

    a win over glenn johnson who has lost 13 times

    a win over clinton woods - c level fighter


    tarver is the definition of a 1 fight wonder. he is one of the most over-rated fighters of all time. losses to eric harding, glen johnson, an old hopkins - give me a ****in break!

    Buster Douglas will sue ESB if you leave him off that one fight wonder list.
