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.
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.
