At 190 lbs I don't think Tarver is a realistic threat to Jones, people might buy the fight - but Jones need to worried about his legacy as well as his purse now, he isnt going to have many more fights.
I also dont think Tyson really is, but there is always the doubt that something of the great heavyweight of the 80's could remain, tyson carries an aura of intimidation even now, I think this would be a great fight to sell, but the fear would be for Jones it could be embarassingly easy (or Tyson could land some clean shots and beat him if his mind is right)
I think maybe now is the time Jones need to stop being so selective in picking fights that suit him, and take on the people who are the biggest threat.
I dont see Jones - Hopkins ever being a reality, simply cos Jones could not healthily get to a weight at which he could fight Hopkins.
