Tough one. Tarver 37 fights over 15 years. Starling 51 fights over 11 years. Pauli 39 fights over 13 years.
I voted Starling, but Tarver did magic on RJJ. Great fights with Glencoffe & showing valor @ HW.
Paulie N'Dou, Diaz & Judah best wins. Wasn't consistent, didn't have a major belt.
Starling- Donald Curry was his kryptonite- But Donald held the belt for a few good defenses.
Starling dominated in his grudge match with Honeyghan. Schooled Floyd Mayweather. 1st to defeat Simon Brown & Mark Breland.
Was a showboater @ times. Stance was pretty stout- or sometimes flatfooted, so he was good at bending at the hips, shoulder rolling. Put punches together well.
Another guy I've been privileged to meet. Marlon is a cool little dude, So I'm a bit biased for him at that note- got to call Marlon the TRUE Magic Man.
I got a picture with Tarver once- Not sure what to make of what he thought of me. I had on my Stacie Adams shoes, Black Silk suit, Trench coat and the dude actually looked me up and down- before he agreed to take the photo.
Damn dude who took the picture had his friggin thumb over the lense..![]()
