There was a time where I was the only Lomachenko detractor. Ppl caught up now although for different reasons other than what I thought about him

When ESPN kept hyping his angles and were trying to force feed the narrative that he was better than Floyd....with less than 15 fights...and a loss already....I was like :patrice::jbhmm::francis::hhh:that man got Salido problems:whoa::hubie:

I was watching a little bit of Shawn Porter when he was live at the HOF. He had Tarver on there. He kept saying to Tarver they're going to call your name one of these days or something along those lines.

It got me thinking, does Tarver deserve to be in the hall of fame? He's did a good job talking himself as if he's in that Jones Jr/Hopkins/Toney tier, but he doesn't really have the resume or accomplishments of those guys.

I actually like Tarver, and I do think he'll probably get in. Knocking out Roy will get him in, but his career was really underwhelming IMO.
