Antonio Tarver

if fury becomes champion two more times, and unified one more time, he'll be destined for the HOF.

That would be a travesty.

I don't think he deserves HOF entry. He has a spotty record. IMO, Jones was never the same fighter when he came back down from HW. Even though he held a win over Tarver, he was still never the same fighter after losing over 25 lbs. of muscle weight to go back to LHW.

He lost to Hopkins and had back to back losses to Dawson. He was never really a big crowd pleaser either. Basic boxer with good overall skills, but falls short of HOF.

You make good points but I dont think it’s fair to bring up the weight. Roy was at the peak of his career when he decided to move up in weight for Ruiz. After that signature win, he decided to come back down to unify their titles. Ultimately he made that choice and even fought to a narrow victory that night. He had plenty of time to adjust to the lower weight after the first fight but Tarver was just his ******nite.

That would be a travesty.

yes yes, definitely would be a travesty for a three time world heavyweight champion and two time unified world heavyweight champion to win an award. definitely an important thing to worry about.

When you see who else is in there he probably deserves it. If sly Stallone is in then why not tarver? Barry mcguigan was a good fighter who is also in the HOF. Did he have a better career than tarver? No.

I agree with that. None of them belong in there. Stallone being in is a complete joke. If baseball were run like boxing, Michael Jordan would have been inducted 5 years after his AA career ended.

gatti is in, so yeah
