Where does Tarver rank all time?

[chinchekked]

Yeah I agree, Tarver doesn't rank all time. However he does remind me of Mr. Hankey on South Park.

I think Tarver might could crack the top 20 light heavyweights all time. Honestly, he's a good fighter who was at the right place at the right time to beat Roy Jones Jr.

He's not even in the same universe as Roy Jones Jr. when it comes to all time rankings.

Tarver does not come close to RJJ all time agreed but in his defence he was calling Jones out for years before before he got his shot.

That is a good question. I have absolutely no frigging idea. Win over Harding with incompetent ref was one of the worst beatings Ive seen. Don't think he gets enough credit at all for wins over Jones. Aside from that he's pretty much 'yeh yeh whatever man, take a number'.

Outstanding Commentator, just needs to not get caught on camera with that overly goofy smile so much.

I was in Oakland for the Ward vs. Bika fight, and Tarver was there with Bernstein commentating. I am not joking when I say that ONE fan walked up to Tarver and shook his hand.

Thats it. No one else cared in the least.

Few years ago in Sacramento Raul Marquez got A LOT more fan attention at the fights.

So did Lennox Lewis, but that goes without sayin as he was THE heavyweight champ for a while.

Basically what I'm saying is people don't like and/or don't care much about Tarver.

Literally nowhere. He was a good fighter, not close to a great one.

I like Tarver, great career. I don't think he's far off HOF consideration.Arguably beat Roy Jones 3 times, has some other impressive wins too. Ok not at the level of Jones Jr or Hopkins but he's got to be on a par with Diego Coralles, Castillo, Hatton etc.

They were like hey look its Mason Dixon!

Nowhere close to the top 100 of all time. That's about it.

He's not done yet, if he beats Green, thats a nice little win. He could pull some George Foreman type second career out, you never know.

Sure, but still not enough to come close to the top 100
