    I'm hearing about Calzaghe vs everyone but no one has mentioned Antonio Tarver

    I think it's an interesting fight, stylewise.

    Great technical fight if it comes off for boxing purists.

    Great technical ass whuppin you mean. Tarver is shot! Joe would beat the shit outta him at this point. Tarver, Hopkins, and Jones are too past it to beat Joe now.

    Dawson is the only guy at 160-175 who can possibily beat him.

    Please, no. I don't even really want to see Calzaghe/Hopkins. Why would anyone want to see Tarver in a big fight ever again?

    I agree. You got one guy gonna throw hundreds of punches and one whose going to throw diddily.

    This would be one of the biggest punch discrepancies in boxing history. Not that punchstats matter of course.

    One good thing about this match up is Tarver would never be seen again aftering the beating he would take.

    Agreed on Dawson being the only guy at 175 that could cause Joe real trouble.

    But I want to see the Hopkins fight. B-Hop should stop ducking Calzaghe.
