Antonio Tarver was already 28 yrs.old, and 2 months when he made his boxing debut.

He beat Roy Jones twice Beat Glenn Johnson in their rematch Beat former champions Montell Griffin, Danny "Legend Killer" Green. Losses to Jones, Johnson, Dawson Twice, Hopkins, and Eric Harding. Won WBC, WBA (Super), IBF, IBO, IBA & The Ring Light Heavyweight titles. Yeah but its not like he was some schmo off the street he was an outstanding amatuer in fact one of the best ever

I think he would have been better off turning pro at 20 or 21. Then when he is in his physical prime at 25 to29 years old he has lots of pro experience. He did very will considering his late start. Being in prison forced Hopkins to turn pro at about 30 years old I think. Fighters are always better off to turn pro at a young age and do their fighting while they are young and retire young without as much damage to their health. Hopkins turned pro at 23.

hes still fighting, saw a Heavyweight fight of him recently playin up to the crowd after he won. good fight. hes ranked at heavyweight now. speaks well.

He was boxing in the ameteurs since age 16, you make it sound like he had not touched a glove until he turned 28, and two months idiota

That is a great achievement and he seems to be a nice guy. Il never forget "you got any excuses tonight roy"

I didnt kno he was twenty eight I thot he was twenty six when he started, he made a lot of money in a short amountof time Me too. I thought he was younger than Roy. He's a couple of months older than RJJ.
