Fact is Toney's resume at heavyweight is way better than Tarver. Again tell me one heavyweight of note Tarver has beaten? And between, I would pick Gavern to beat that version of Banks. I take Ellis over Sheppard by points any day.
James Toney's resume is better, but who cares about fights from 10 years ago? He lost to Charles Ellis ffs Current Tarver would win every second of every round and probably stop Toney at this point. Tarver = Top 25 heavyweight Toney = Not even a top 100 heavyweight anymore
