Really good matchup. Too me, one thing really separates the two and durability. For as tough and talented as Johnson was, he was stopped five times. One thing about Tarver was he was never stopped in his entire career and very rarely even hurt in a fight. He was defensively sound and tougher than he gets credit for. Bottom line, In a fight that I believe would be close on the cards if it goes the distance, I do believe Tarver holds a slight edge because he can get Johnson out of there while I don't think Johnson can stop Tarver.
