Antonio Tarver: record, next fight and profile →

Gennadiy Golovkin going into the International Boxing Hall of Fame was a formality. The rest of the names in the press release? That’s where the real analysis lies.

Gennadiy Golovkin, Nigel Benn and Antonio Tarver lead the International Boxing Hall of Fame class of 2026.

Jason Langendorf scans the boxing scene for rare moments of bliss. This week, there were upsets in the air, a promotional film with some suspect backers and a bit of jawing between fifty-something frenemies.

Terence Crawford has pretty much done it all. From winning world titles in three separate divisions to becoming an undisputed champion at both 140 and 147 pounds, there isn’t much that the 36-year-old needs or wants to do.

For several years, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have circled one another. They’re both gigantic men, are elite-level fighters, and they just so happen to be incredibly popular, especially in the UK.

It might be just a mythical title, but practically every fighter salivates at the thought of being regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Essentially, the number one slot is being fought over by Terence Crawford and Naoya Inoue.

Former world champion Antonio Tarver is open to the possibility of taken part in an exhibition fight. The 55-year-old Tarver retired back in August of 2015, when he fought to a split draw with fellow former champion Steve Cunningham.

Former world champion Antonio Tarver is a big fan of unbeaten fighters Gervonta Davis and Shakur Stevenson. Davis has had the biggest year of his career in terms of profile and money.

Former world champion Antonio Tarver believes Terence Crawford would do better than Jermell Charlo in a potential showdown with Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.

On paper, it was hyped as the fight of the century, a clash between two pound-for-pound stars, and about as 50/50 a matchup as you could ever find. In the ring, however, there was nothing competitive about Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence Jr.
