So i see this fight is on. Very interesting. Whilst Tarver is passed his best, Green is no spring chicken and returning from surgery that could have ended his career.

Say what you will about the hand wraps, green would have knocked roy out regardless. He has always been a very heavy handed fighter.

Who wins?

Tarvers punch output has never been that good. but he is a good counter puncher, which may cause problems for Greens aggressive style.

I say Tarver by KO

All of this is because of how he beat Jones. Something he wasn't supposed to do, and was supposed to be a tune up for Jones. I doubt we would even be having discussions about Green and having bitter people if the fight didn't even take place, haha.

Why do you think people hate Tarver the way they do? Sure he can be a douche but a lot of that visceral hatred comes from the way he gave Roy Jones a sex change.

I don't know how big a deal Green is in Australia but for sure the reason he's on people's radar here is because of what he did to Roy as well. Prior to that, I think most Americans knew him as the guy who'd had a heated sparring session with James Toney.

Speaking of which...

The winner of this fight needs to come see James.

cant speak for anyone else but my personal dislike for tarver stems from his arrogance and thought in his mind that he is this supreme fighter when in reality he is not... he is cocky when it isnt warrented... the guy was LUCKY in the fact that he caught Roy Jones at the true beginning of his slide in skills and still lost the first fight... got lucky in the second fight with the ko with his eyes closed and all of a sudden he thinks he is king shit... take a look at tarvers record and he has never won a big fight the first time around... he has always needed rematches and that dates back to the eric harding fights... the guy hit the circumstance lotto and it made him a brash cocky shit talker when he didnt have that right... sad thing is some actually give him full credit for that ko of jones which further boosts his shitty ego... i love nothing more than watching him get beat on in the ring and im hoping danny green lays a methodical slow beat down on him...

now his fighting aside i give him full credit as a fight announcer and analyzer on showtime.. i think he does a great job there... i dont hate the guy as a person just when he goes into fighter mode...
