    Sounds just a little better than the career of Antonio Tarver.

      The fight against marcel cerden were he wins the title or his rematch against irish bob murphy are good fights, but there really isnt much footage of him in his prime years

          I wouldnt go that far, he was good no doubt, but not the greatest of all time.

            Tarver was good enough to beat Roy Jones, wasn't he? Yes, we all know he was washed up, weight-drained.
            There is no comparison between the careers of Jake LaMotta and Antonio Tarver. LaMotta is one of the top 10 greatest middleweights of all time in my opinion while Tarver probably doesn't make my top 20 greatest light heavyweights.
