    Anybody remember this guy? There was a time when he was considered the best jnr middle in the world, and everyone thought of him as a REAL threat to Mosley, Floyd, and DLH. Then he loses to Alcine, and disappears. What a waste.

    Tarvis vs Golovkin was cancelled some weeks ago.According to the news then Golovkin vs Tarvis would be rescheduled,but I havent heard anything about their encounter anymore since then.

    Everyone that signs a contract with Don King is a wasted talent.

    Alcine is an even bigger waste. He pulls off a big win over Simms and then gets ktfo by SAntos and now he's all religious and **** and doesn't even want to train

    Of course He is religious now, He saw God when he was almost died after being brutally koed.

    Alcine is a bit of a nutcase god-loving fruit. But he's a nice guy.

    Yeah, he's fighting in a hotel ballroom in South Carolina this Saturday, against TBA. Luis Collazo is also on the card. Kind of funny - on the fight poster, they spelled his name "Louis Callazo." Even funnier when you consider that his opponent's name is David Gogichaishvili, and they spelled that right.

    Simms, is fighting again in SC August 29, I still think he is the best Jr. Middleweight, because I was there when he fought Alcine and I thought Simms beat Alcine easy even with him breaking his left hand in the 2nd round, I think Simms got a bad decision and lost to the politics of boxing, Don king knew that Simms wasn't going to re-sign with him so, he paid the judges off. (What a scum bag, Don is)

    But, I still take Simms in a rematch with Alcine and still thinks he is the best Jr. Middleweight, I'll take him over Santos, Forrest, Spinks, Williams, Martinez and Cintron!!!:bbb

    I still think Tarvis killed him and has assumed his identity.
