Ezzard Charles v.s Antonio Tarver

Charles takes this one, although he might have been troubled by tarvers height and reach early on.

 

On the one hand, yes, I'd take Charles but this isn't that ridiculous. And to the Charles by easy 1st KO style predictions...who has knocked out the now 41-year-old Tarver exactly? ...Who, now?

 

wrong

 

you can not be serious.
unless you gamble on the depth of the decision

 

How many times has Antonio Tarver, as good as he is, relatively speaking, fought someone on the level with Ezzard Charles...the man esteemed by so many as the greatest lightheavyweight champion of all time in so may lists here in this classic forum? No, Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins are not the correct answers. Ezzard Charles would have stopped Tarver in 10 rounds, a clean ko.

 

Charles ud. Tarver might make a good showing.

 

You kind of made my point for me. Because Tarver was never in with a Charles, and has still not been stopped at 41, it's silly to be saying Charles is going to steam roll him. What reason do you have, based not on Charles but on Tarver for feeling that Tarver is going to be clean kayoed at his best? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Tarver is in the same league or even the league behind Charles. I'm just saying the guy is a smart, tall, durable boxer who hasn't been stopped in any way shape or form and it's not as if Charles didn't go the distance many times in his career and against lesser men than Tarver and at light heavyweight. Whereas we do know for sure that RJJ, Johnson, Dawson and Hopkins couldn't get him out over the course of several years and fights. I guess I just don't understand the logic of such a sure prediction.

 

Charles stops Tarver in 7. Charles does everything better then Tarver.

Charles by Decision

 

if b-hop schools tarver ezzard spanks him

 

but the thread writer surely did not mean the drained antonio tarver that b-hop picked to fight , he means a well conditioned relatively young antonio tarver.

 

Exactly.

"Pointless" comments are approaching General forum stupidity.

Coming into a thread just to say said question and thread are pointless. ****ing BRILLIANT. Original too! :-(

What a surprise I haven't been here at all in the past month plus. :verysad

 

Relatively young like when he was 31 years old, knocked down and decisively beaten by Eric Harding?
