Tarver's more achieved than Michael Moorer though. Moorer had a great record at 175, but Tarver faced and beat more world-class fighters.

You're right, but I don't give much credence to his wins over a past his prime Jones, and since he was 1-1 against both Johnson and Harding, those wins don't mean much to me either. Plus I have no doubt Moorer would have beaten Tarver prime for prime.

Even though Tarver beat them both by a TKO and UD.

Tarver pretty much decapitated Harding in the rematch and the first Johnson fight was close there too.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

No.

You can flip what you say here.

He has just beaten a good but workmanlike fighter in Woods, his other big fighters at this weight he has hardly dominated i.e. Jones won 1 lost 1, Johnson won 1 lost 1 and Hopkins lost 1.

Good wins against Harding and Griffin but how can you compare a guy who has 27 wins in only 31 fights and 11 title fights (3 of which he lost) against some of these below?
