Bilbo IMO Tarver would be a lot more respected if he were more consistant! He's got a big mouth but fails to back it up. It was the same when he was an amateur.

He might be more respected, but he'd still be hated and probably not respected enough...look at how much people hated on Larry Holmes and how little respect he gets/got relative to his accomplishments. His great crime was not being Ali. Holmes was consistant, and far more humble than Tarver. He still got the crap end of the stick from the public and even from many hardcore boxing fans.Originally Posted by Galaxy

Holmes was definitely consistent but the Marciano quotes went along way in hurting him. The bitterness he holds to this day turns a lot of fans off!He might be more respected, but he'd still be hated and probably not respected enough...look at how much people hated on Larry Holmes and how little respect he gets/got relative to his accomplishments.
