Antonio Tarver is the Greatest LHW Champ of all time

[Degsy]

True dat!

some of these judges give points for going forward, but as I said on a different thread, how can you get points for being the aggressor when you are taking three times the leather you are dishing out?? Even though I'm a Brit I try very hard to be dispassionate when I score a fight, I couldn't see more than two rounds where Clinton did enough, maybe they gave a few 10:10s where they should have been 10:9s to Tarver??

I know this is a bait thread, but I'll say it anyway, Tarver is really underrated. He's looked like crap in his last two bouts besides Woods, but he's still underated.

Wins:
Eric Harding
Reggie Johnson
Montel Griffin
Roy Jonesx2
Glen Johnson
Clinton Woods

Sure he didn't beat them impressievly as a prime Jones did (except for Jones and Johnson of course), but **** it's prime Jones.

Underrated and I don't see how people said he was overrated.

I think Chris Johnson was also a top 10 rated contender when Tarver all but took his head off.

Props to Jones for making Tarver famous

Props to Tarver knocking his ass out.

Then what does that make Hopkins

guy that got lucky and beat a unmotived weight drained Tarver.

Weight drained Tarver? What happened to the "YOU GOT ANY EXCUSES TONIGHT ROY?"

Roy isn't allowed to use him, but Tarver is? lol ok man.

Tarver's best excuse was that his steaks were poisioned.

[Jim Jeffries]

Ezzard Charles
Archie Moore
Michael Spinks
Roy Jones Jr
Jimmy Bivins
Saad Muhammad
Billy Conn
Gene Tunney
Bob Foster
Michael Moorer
Bob Fitzsimmons
Sam Langford
Dwight Muhammad Qawi

Just to name a few LHWs BETTER than Tarver.

[Panamaniac]

Yeah, but...

He beat all the top guys of his era, beat most of em' twice. He avenged 3 losses and has enough belts to make a tent out of. He the baddest 175er' ever!


39 and STILL taking belts!!!!!!!!!!!!


The GREATEST!!!!!!

Still not enough. Bob Foster and Michael Spinks immediately come to mind; both of whom were better at the end of their careers than Tarver is at this point. Further research might even reveal other fighters I have yet to think of. I'm reluctant to make a case for Roy Jones, as I'm not sure he's done yet.
