If that's true that's one of the funniest quotes from a boxer that I've ever heard. And to think it came from as nice a guy as Glen makes it even better:)
I think Jones was also waaay out of his prime being physically weight drained losing 25 pounds worth of muscle in 7 months he was never the same fighrter
agreed, he could have fought ALOT better, dunno what happened. i reli was hoping to see tarver get the shit kicked out of him.woods did have to go to a funeral that day tho, so that might be it.
Why? Oh why is Tarver using Ali's words, style and poems to stake his claim to victory over Clinton Woods? Is he so deluded that he thinks he has the right do that?! Clinton, flatten this guy, please.
Not another colonist. I'm afraid people more qualified than you scored the fight a win to Calzaghe. I was there and agreed with it. Hopkins was terrible,disgrace to the sport. Calzaghe had a bad fight himself and still won. If he was 'vintage' that night he would have got a unanimous. Much as I love Roy, I think he has, & I don't like saying this as he is one of the finest to ever grace the ring, lost that killer edge he had only a few years ago. Love to see you call Joe 'queer' to his face.
Tarver beat Jones cos he's just got his number. Thats life. But apart from that he is a average world class fighter. Woods held his own with Glen Johnson who held his own with Tarver. So it should be a competitive close fight. Hope Woods beats him.
this shit is funny as hell. the british media was dogging tarver out and he beat their boy ha ha. roy jones beat the shit out of woods "they pulled me out." yeah that's what they all say.
only once but he never got stopped. getting knocked down and knockout are two different things! everybody except for maybe hopkins and glen johnson been knocked down!
Joe calzaghe would have stopped him first chance he got. Woods just threw a decent combo and then stops over and over. Joe Calzaghe and a few other fighter would have smashed him up as soon as they got the chance
Hope Woods shuts him up, but I dont see it. Woods is your bog standard boxer with no special skills. I see a unanimous decision for Tarver. Id love to see Tarver take on Calzaghe after Calzaghe is done with Hopkins. That would be the savage beating the world wants to see Tarver take.
i honestly think woods gonna win that one!! but it be great if Tarver could pull it off! then he could give Jones a rematch and get whooped solid!!! Jones is back to when he whooped woods !! nobody can stop RJJ!
Well, wasn't Tarver, Mayweather and Fernando Vargas on the same olympic team? I think they gave each other trash talking lessons in camp...And all three failed miserably. 'I'm pretty like a girl'? Yeah, really nice, Tony T. You'd make one UUUUUGGGLLLYYYY girl.
When will the brit's learn?They constantly call out older American champions on the downside of their career and lose any way. These clowns are manufactured fighters.They always build their resume on a list of old and washed up contenders until people believe their hype and give them a real fight which they always lose.Itwas funny watching woods slow mind at work trying to trade insults with tarver,and then denying that he was ko by jones saying the corner stopped it which is more embarressing!
This fight was terrible lol It Woods was acting really weird. He had the oppertunity to go for the stoppage on more than one occasion and he just backed off or got tied up. What an annoying fight
had it not been for the racist undertones i would have to agree with your comment 100%. Tarver is probably my least favorite fighter these days, hope Clinton can whip him a new one, but I got Tarver by majority decision in this one.
@jason60152 Stop with the bullshit already. A boxer getting knocked out doesn't take away the fact that they're a good fighter. Joe Louis, Roberto Durán, and Thomas Hearns, been knocked out. They went on to become legends and they're idolize by many boxing fans around the world. Tarver got the IBO Cruiserweight belt that is not recognized. It's a bum belt that up in coming boxers get. Bernard Hopkins got the recognized WBC Light heavyweight belt at 46, what you got to say about that!!??
and hattan wasn't overhyped? what about clinton woods? they both was suppose to take down the american boxers. mayweather runs this and that. you don't get to 38-0 with 25 knockouts by running! the object of boxing is to hit and prevent from getting hit. i mean if we were to fight. do you think i am going to stand in front of you and allow you to get easy shots on me. thats the reason why you don't like mayweather. as far as hopkins, you don't like him because he is great!
omg this is bull shit how brits making fun of tarver tarver got a better resume why they take him as a joke talking about the movies as if it was real fight he beat the Jones johnson griffin
who have joe calzaghe fought? okay, bernard hopkins never been knocked out either. so, but you fans don't watch boxing. instead you watch hype. don't worry about the stuff that happens outside of the ring. who cares if these fighters are assholes. i don't because all i go by are their skills inside of the ring. we don't know if joe calzaghe is a good enough boxer to beat hopkins. you just hoping he beats hopkins because of what hopkins said outside of the ring. hopkins backs up his trash talk!
@jason60152 BTW Hearns called out Tarver years ago so what are talking about Troll? LOL go tell people that Tarver is better Duran? Boxing historians will laugh at you. Duran widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time. He has accomplish more than Tarver would do in a lifetime. Tarver will be forgotten, believe that. People will only mention him for KOing Roy Jones, that's it. What has Tarver done in boxing for people to remember him? Rocky is a fucking fictional character dummy.
I bet on Tarver to beat Woods Calzaghe says in Ring magazine that Stallone knocked down Tarver with a body punch. It's looking abit of a dodgy bet except he has home town advantage and says he did'nt train properly for Hopkins.
joe going to win what? you guys always jumping on the bandwagon and you never even seen the dude fight. its does matter if a guy is an asshole or not. its about talent. if i am an asshole and i would fight you would it matter if i am an asshole or not if i can't fight? look its about inside of the ring. roger clemons is an asshole but he is a damn good pitcher. barry bonds is too. so these boxers shouldn't be role models for your kids. you should be alright! so watch boxing before you comment!
I would absoloutly love to see woods ko tarver, however i think tarver is a world class fighter. He isnt brilliant and he isnt on the same level as people like pavlik and hopkins, but he is very good. I havent seen enough of woods tbh, but i very much doubt he has the sort of skill and talent tarver does. Tarver his an awfull awfull person, ball cock arrogant, dismissive, self centred. It would be a lovely thing if he was sumhow knocked out.
stop the bullshit,clint and tarver just put on one of the best fights ive seen,tarver outboxed clint but clint had the heart and the chin to to keep it goin,respect on both fighters they done the best they could and wd tarver even tho id ive liked the sheffield boy to win,sad watching him talk about retirment
dude! you remember jones level of energie and the lack of confidence he had when he fought him....dude he could've knock tarver out in the fifth round of their 3rd fight you know that
tarver is a good fighter and may win this fight,but he is as pathetic and senial as hopkins-stood there talking shit thinkin there funny its quite sad really.

If that's true that's one of the funniest quotes from a boxer that I've ever heard. And to think it came from as nice a guy as Glen makes it even better:)
I like Tarver's brashness, it all show; just hope these guys have a lot to give come fight time.
Come on Clinton!!!! I just can't wait...
I think Jones was also waaay out of his prime being physically weight drained losing 25 pounds worth of muscle in 7 months he was never the same fighrter
Im still here....6 years on! :)
Woods looks a lot like Mikkel Kessler.
Is this fight being shown in the UK..?
agreed, he could have fought ALOT better, dunno what happened. i reli was hoping to see tarver get the shit kicked out of him.woods did have to go to a funeral that day tho, so that might be it.
I heard tarver saying he is only a 4 round fighter. At the recent press conference. Is he fucking nuts? I hope clinton knocks him out!
Britain, American and Mexico = Boxing. You get a few fighters from other places too. But it's mostly those three.
Should be a darn good fight!
Why? Oh why is Tarver using Ali's words, style and poems to stake his claim to victory over Clinton Woods? Is he so deluded that he thinks he has the right do that?! Clinton, flatten this guy, please.
exactily well said
very unoriginal trying to copy the greatest words and style
Props to tarver though. He only just missed the cut! I wonder what tarver sees when he looks in the mirror?
Not another colonist. I'm afraid people more qualified than you scored the fight a win to Calzaghe. I was there and agreed with it. Hopkins was terrible,disgrace to the sport. Calzaghe had a bad fight himself and still won. If he was 'vintage' that night he would have got a unanimous.

not gonna waste your time? Why you post two comments then?
Well, wasn't Tarver, Mayweather and Fernando Vargas on the same olympic team? I think they gave each other trash talking lessons in camp...And all three failed miserably.
'I'm pretty like a girl'? Yeah, really nice, Tony T. You'd make one UUUUUGGGLLLYYYY girl.

Tarver's shot. Hopkins ruined him
This fight was terrible lol It Woods was acting really weird. He had the oppertunity to go for the stoppage on more than one occasion and he just backed off or got tied up. What an annoying fight
I don't think many brits gave woods a chance....
as for Joe, we'll see.
had it not been for the racist undertones i would have to agree with your comment 100%. Tarver is probably my least favorite fighter these days, hope Clinton can whip him a new one, but I got Tarver by majority decision in this one.
Rude, childish, trouble maker is Tarver. He started all the arguements
you never watch clinton woods box so how did you like him. just another hyped up boxer that got sent to the cleaners!
@jason60152 Stop with the bullshit already. A boxer getting knocked out doesn't take away the fact that they're a good fighter. Joe Louis, Roberto Durán, and Thomas Hearns, been knocked out.

omg this is bull shit how brits making fun of tarver
tarver got a better resume why they take him as a joke
talking about the movies as if it was real fight
he beat the Jones johnson griffin
who have joe calzaghe fought? okay, bernard hopkins never been knocked out either. so, but you fans don't watch boxing. instead you watch hype. don't worry about the stuff that happens outside of the ring. who cares if these fighters are assholes. i don't because all i go by are their skills inside of the ring. we don't know if joe calzaghe is a good enough boxer to beat hopkins. you just hoping he beats hopkins because of what hopkins said outside of the ring. hopkins backs up his trash talk!
lol
Tarver has lost his cool big style!
both fighters aint that good in my opinion!!
Great fight can't wait...
Woods is a shot fighter
@jason60152 BTW Hearns called out Tarver years ago so what are talking about Troll? LOL go tell people that Tarver is better Duran? Boxing historians will laugh at you. Duran widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time. He has accomplish more than Tarver would do in a lifetime. Tarver will be forgotten, believe that.
