Antonio Tarver
He's making a comeback following his drugs ban, however he is making it at heavyweight this time. Surely he wasn't struggling at cruiserweight, he looked flabby and slow and could easily have shed a few pounds if he wanted to.
Would like to see him in with some of our guys like Chisora or Fury. He's durable and wouldn't fall over at the fight sign of a punch, I have a feeling his work rate will be next to non after this suspension.

I think Cunningham was supposed to be Fury's Tarver. Now he's passed that test with a B+, he moves on to greater things - ie - Haye.hampo171 wrote:He's making a comeback following his drugs ban, however he is making it at heavyweight this time.

Chisora-Tarver would be a dull fight, but an appropriate crossroads matchup.

Re: Antonio Tarver
Cant see him doing anything at HW, as you said he hasnt looked good physically at CW so HW won't be much improvement
He's durable but I'm not sure how well he will take 12 rounds from a proper heavyweight
They'll probably put him up against wilder

He looked alright in Rocky 6. That was at heavyweight wasn't it?

Re: Antonio Tarver
I thought he was unlucky to only get a draw in his last fight, but turned out to be insignificant anyway as its now down as a NC.
Tarver is a good technician, and he will only be beaten up by somebody with a decent ability. I don't think he will trouble the top heavyweights, but I think he can beat a lot of the slobs out there. I don't think his stamina would be an issue against the likes of Chisora or Fury. His lack of power at heavy could be though

Re: Antonio Tarver
Think he has been calling out Cunningham. There was a little back and forth on Facebook. Would be a decent enough fight but other than money there is no reason this should be at heavyweight rather than cw
