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

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...

JLUV you're kinda proving my point here though. I get that you hate Tarver for his arrogance but there is NO WAY you'd even waste the time hating on him to THIS ^^^ extent if it hadn't been for what he did to Roy Jones. He just wouldn't be on your radar the same way.

Incidentally, whatever anyone thinks of Tarver otherwise I believe he deserves full credit for his KO of Jones. Roy was still superman back then. He looked great in the first round of that fight and then just got nailed. And that was the end of that.

tarver could have ko'd anybody with that same status at the time and i would feel the same.... its not that it was ROY JONES.... and fact is, roy wasnt the superman we thought he was in hindsight... Roy killed what prime he had left dropping that muscle weight to go back down to lt heavy to face tarver (no way roy pre heavyweight loses to antonio tarver)... he would never be the same again after the defeat of ruiz... it was the last night we saw a prime roy or anything close to it... didnt know it then but it is what it is.. roy should have cashed out at heavyweight taking the tyson and holyfield fights 2 fights i think he would have won by the way and cashed out vs lewis... he wouldnt be fighting now...

tarver faced the same weight loss demon after blowing up to close to 220 for the rocky balboa movie... he was never the same after that as he was a fairly good fighter in his own right before blowing up in weight to make the movie, just not who he would like to think he was, but a fairly good fighter that was never the same after his weight loss issues... but like i said i hate tarver as a fighter and love seeing him get his cocky ass busted up in fights but can say he is a very good analyst...
