    Give Tarver His Props

    I know the majority hate him because of his massive ego and the fact he destroyed Roy Jones. But the man deserves a spot in the hall of fame. He beat the best LHWs of his era, destroyed the invincible Roy Jones, and also beat Glen Johnson decisively along with many others. He had the balls to fight Dawson when every other LHW not named Glen Johnson ducked him. He lost tonight, but showed a lot of heart, and did the most he could at 40 vs a prime, young fighter that was much faster and stronger. Winning the last two rounds shows his heart, and now that his career is all but done, he deserves a spot in the hall of fame and all boxing fans respect.

    You forgot to mention his win over Rocky Balboa at Heavyweight. Tarver is a decent fighter but Idk about HOF. (I don't even care about his character)

          Tarver did very well for a 40 year old fighter.

          He just doesn't have the snap in his punches anymore, like he did four or five years ago.

            you should be banned for mentioning Tarver and the HoF in the same sentence.

              His claim to fame was catching a 36 year old Roy. No Hall of Fame in by book, unless gift of gab is a criteria.

                    Once you go to crackhead status, once you make anything at all out of your life you got to get massive props.
