    Tarver was definitely a big puncher.imo it was one of his only real standout attributes.

    Just from re watching the highlights of Harding-Jones it's hard to argue Tarver wasn't a big puncher. Mendoza's off his rocker again

    Tarver had sneaky power, but this is like comparing Walcott to Foreman.

    You just don't see too many men walking around in purple and yellow shirts. I think it suits you.

    No he did not. Power Puncher who thinks Hopkins beat Clazaghe ( Racy BS form PP, check the punch stats, and Hopkins was running in fumes ) said Tarver is a massive puncher.

    I can name plenty of light heavies that hit harder than Tarver.

    In fact three of them are active today in Kovalev, Stevenson, and Beterbiev.

    Tarver would put your lights out with a punch you couldn't see coming. That was the beauty of it.

    I agree he had skills. It's the punch that you don't see that often hurts you. I just disagree with the view os some or one that he was a massive puncher.

    Kovalev would put you too sleep with a punch you did see coming. :dead

    Sergey would have definitely kept a ko ratio above 85% had he thought dawson twice. apart from Hopkins and the heavyweights id fancy kova to ko most of the guys tarver couldn't.
