    Future Hall of Famer Antonio "The Magic Man" Tarver (31-6-1, 1 NC, 22 KOs) has just about done it all as a boxer having been an Olympic medal winner and world champion as an amateur, along with capturing five major light heavyweight world titles as a professional, as well as a pair of The Ring magazine's top honors, and four other world championships in two different divisions.

      Article forgot to mention that he's a multiple time drug cheat like Cancelo Clenbuterstall.

        Reading through...wow I never knew Tarver had such an impressive amateur record.

        No wonder he was so successful as a pro.

          Tarver is probably still fighting because he needs the money.

          A few years back he was in the headlines because he was trying to get his child support payments reduced to a more reasonable level.

            As a fighter he was pretty good not great but pretty good but as a person he's at the bottom of the barrel ...if you're going to write an article about the guy state ALL the facts... he can't even support his own kids, what a disgrace...

              Solid fighter but caught too many times on PEDS. Was definitely on something the night he beat Green, but avenged most his defeats. Hopkins absolutely schooled the daylights out of him though that was a great fight. If he wants to continue at heavyweight at his age best of luck but he's nuts.

                Future hall of Famer? With the exception of an older Roy who has he beaten?
