    Gee, I wonder what the reaction around here would have been if it had been Calzaghe and not Dawson who had fought and beaten Tarver over the weekend? :think

    :patsch :rofl

    Dude really??? No it was pretty sad, and the same excuse that I have heard coming from 99% of the European posters here. The Tarver vs Joe fight was talked about long before Hopkins beat Tarver...Your sooo totally clueless here....Wait maybe you should pull your head from Joes bum just enough to get some oxygen, cuz your abit light headed:hi:

    Its not a case of anyone that Joe hasnt fought would beat him, its a case of Joe not being willing to fight Jones years ago, not being willing to fight Pavlik and Dawson now, or Tarver after he beat Jones or even Johnson...That is more then coincidence my man:good

    so...in this day and age, a major world title should mean nothing to a fighters legacy compared to a big money fight against a non-title holder...

    i know money talks...and joe wants his pension...but i really think that, and thought it after the clinton woods fight...that tarver would have been a very easy world title for joe to add to his legacy..

    You are talking about this old Tarver right? Not the young one?

    It's a fight that will do him nothing, he's already considered #1 in the division for beating Hopkins who beat Tarver who beat Jones who cleaned out the division. Adding a vacated(by the top fighter) belt to his record won't change his position as #1, he already beat the main man to beat and that's all that matters.

    i hear you...and totally respect that...but regardless of who the opponent was, isnt the ibf light heavyweight world title worth fighting for in its own right...isnt that a nice extra line on the legacy..
