I can't rank Tarver as a top LH compared to past champs, he is just lacking the credentials to even be considered a top fighter let alone a fringe Hall Of Fame Candidate as a fighter.

I think he's a great commentator though and it's early in that career and he will only get better if they keep him around.

There are some announcers in the Hall Of Fame who never laced up a glove, I don't feel he has a chance as a fighter alone but down the road some years he could get in for announcing plus he has some titles under his belt to help.
