Where does Tarver rank all time?

[Nameless]

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

[No Contest]

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

[Gandalf]

I am absolutely convinced that he is the 154th best boxer of all time.

AT 175>?? The division isn;'t that deep?

[CutMeMick]

Is he a fighter that was at the right place and right time? or does he deserve some due, i cant distinguish wether he is a Buster Douglas type guy, or perhaps a Duran, Frazier typa fella, thoughts?

Tell me that this is really not a comparison you think their might be between them...

Tarvers a good boxer. I personally don't like him...
All time list wow! it's really hard to tell.
For starters he's still active.
I would guess all time somewhere between 250-300.

well caparison as being the GUY that beat the GUY, buster douglas was that guy, but he sucked, duran was that guy but he is one of the greats, so what i am saying is, is tarver just a guy that sucks that beat the guy, or is he the guy that beat the guy and goes down ranked, at least at lhw, but i see majority agree he doesn't

Do you think he's a borderline HOF candidate Mick?

I think a lot of people hate on him and so underestimate him. But he was a slick, tough fighter in his prime. Avenged all of his losses, won world titles 3 times, never been stopped. Even gave Chad Dawson some decent tests at age 38 or something.

I think he's a good example of someone who came back from early adversity and carved out a successful career that looked very unlikely indeed a few years earlier.

He really didn't have long at the top though Bilbo, and he's not even ranked in the top 20 in the Light Heavyweight division.

But then again there has been some questionable, fighters in the HOF so who knows.
