    Good grief:yikes - SRR only twice as good, as that version of Milk Dud. You must be reading it wrong. Surely there must be a -(minus) sign infront that you have missed.

    Yeah, it's me. I had to crop the photo though. Couldn't show where the other hand was.

    The Calzaghe scale rounds up to hundredths of a Calzaghe. Tarver is so infinitessimally small that he would normally be 0.00, but that spot is reserved for Ruiz and Zelenoff.

    :yep :yep - Maybe the scale should include Lacy units(1 LU=1/1000 Calzaghe) so the scale will appear more accurate.

    It seems we can all agree Tarver was nothing.

    Yet to defend Hopkins people say Tarver was a top 10 P4P fighter in RING as though it means something.

    How would you rate Tarver compared to Lacy?

    About the same, except Lacy is a more active fighter in the ring. Although Calzaghe was hammering him, Lacy continued trying to throw punches.

    Tarver just stands there these days. Being inactive is not good for Tarver's style at all.

    Steady now, it does mean something. Tarver was a good fighter who was generally overated.

    Tarver beat a former P4P number one. A percieved P4P number one, who was actually just a shadow of himself from 4 years earlier.

    And that shadow still kept Calzaghe hiding at 168.
