    The rest of the fight isn't up on youtube yet, but I will post it in this thread when they eventually get it on there. In the meantime, this first half will give you an idea of where Tarver is at in the heavyweight division.

    Tarver can make a name for himself beating American-level heavyweights such as Banks, Walker, Briggs, Johnson, Brock, Austin, McCline, and Barret, but will lose if he tries to fight true, tough, Euro-level athletes in Ustinov, Dimentrenko, Virchis, Povetkin, Boystov, and a number of others.

    And McCline has been retired since he lost to Chris Arreola back in early 2009.

    Thanks to Tarver, it was the probably the least exciting shobox I have seen.
    Thankfully that Mexican nutter who was fighting Porter made it interesting on the undercard fight

    Tarver looked good for what it was. He showed good defense in my opinion, particularly head movement. He will never score a knockout vs. a heavyweight.

    I hope Haye fights him. Since Haye will likely only take on 12-30 ranked guys, why not Tarver? If Tarver loses, he retires. It would be more relevant right now than Audley Harrison to me.

    Tarver looks like Michael Moorer without the power.
