“I think this is great,” Jones talked about the formation of the USA Boxing Alumni Association. “Fighters who turned pro were great amateurs, but there are also a lot of amateurs who didn’t turn pro. Everybody doesn’t become champion, but they tried and gave their best, and that’s why this organization is good because all boxers are appreciated.”
“Although Hall of Fame weekend tends to focus on the professional careers of many fighters,” Cugliari concluded, “it was hard not to notice the effect that amateur boxing has had on the lives of many of these great champions. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank Ed Brophy for his generosity and support for boxing, and we look forward to a long partnership with the International Boxing Hall of Fame.”

Энтони “Magic хүн” Tarver Credits USA Boxing for giving him Structure that carried him to top
 Колорадо Спрингс, Тойргийн. (May 21, 2018) – Future Hall of Famer Энтони “Magic хүн” Tarver (31-6-1, 1 Сүлжээний Холболт, 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 Ring magazine’s top honors, and four other world championships in two different divisions.“I credit USA Boxing for giving me structure for the first time in my life,” Tarver тайлбарлав. “Everything was scheduled; curfew, eating, сургалт, sleep….бүх зүйл! I then understood that I had to be accountable for everything I did. I had talent, but I wasn’t structured, and that was bigger than me. I had to adjust to authority. My determination took off, giving me support I never had before. I went on to make speaking engagements and get sponsors. I broke barriers. I’ve been the best at every level that I fought at in the world.”
Tarver was a highly decorated amateur who had an amazing 158-12 бичлэг. He is the only boxer to capture gold medals at World Amateur Championships, U.S. National Championships and Pan-American Games in the same year (1995). The Orlando, Florida-born southpaw won a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, losing in the quarterfinals to future world champion Vassiliy Jirov, who Tarver had defeated in the semifinals of the 1995 World Amateur Championships. Tarver also won top honors at the 1994 National Golden Gloves Tournament and 1995 World Championships Challenge.
“I went on a winning roll in 1995 and went into the Olympics in rare form,” Tarver гэж хэлсэн. “And that’s why I was favored to win a gold medal. I was hitting him (Jirov), the same guy I’d beaten in the World Championships, but no points were registering for me. I had a good second round, but I was down three points, so I threw my game plan away in the third round. I felt I had to do more and got away from my style: counter punching, not getting hit, and being patient. I thought I had won and so did a lot of people. I made up for that, Хэдийгээр, with a gold-medal professional career.
“I had been faced with a decision about going pro after I was beaten in the ’92 Olympic Trials. I decided to stay in the amateurs, despite not having any guarantees about making the 1996 U.S. Олимпийн багийн. I sacrificed four years of my pro career, which is why I turned pro at a relatively late age (27). I was determined when I found out the 1996 Olympics were in Atlanta. I think I made the right decision and I have no regrets.
“I had always dreamed of going to the Olympics. I saw Roy Jones, JR – we first fought each other at 13 – get robbed of gold. I was watching that on television, jumped up, and knew where I was heading: The Olympics! We both suffered horrible decisions in the Olympics and I knew then that our careers would be parallel.
Tarver made his pro debut February 18, 1997 Филадельфид, зогсоох Joaquin Garcia (4-0) Хоёр дахь шатанд.
“I was an Olympic bronze medal winner but when I first turned pro,” Tarver added, “I didn’t have a promoter or manager. Nobody was willing to take a chance on me until I was 4-0, when I signed by first contract with Russell Peltz. I felt nobody could beat me.”
Nobody was able to beat Tarver, at least until his 17-р pro fight, үед Эрик Хардингdefeated Tarver by way of a 12-round unanimous decision.
Хоёр жилийн дараа, Tarver embarked on a 12-fight murderer’s row stretch during the next seven years, arguably establishing him as the No. 1 Дэлхийн фунт-г фунт сөнөөгч. It all started with a successful rematch with Harding (21-1-1) in Indianapolis, when Tarver dropped Harding in the fourth round, plus twice more in the fifth, on his way to a fifth-round technical knockout to avenge his lone pro loss to that date.
Next up for Tarver was a showdown with 44-3 Монтелл Гриффин for the WBC and IBF 175-pound division titles, which were vacated by Рой Жонс Jr., Дөрөвдүгээр 26, 2003 Mashantucket нь Foxwoods Resort Casino нь, Коннектикут. In his first world title shot as a pro, Tarver pitched a complete shutout, decking Griffin in the first and last rounds to shut out his opponent by scores of 120-103 бүх гурван шүүгч нь.
Долоон сарын дараа, Гэсэн хэдий ч, Tarver lost a controversial 12-round majority decision and his WBC crown (he was stripped of his IBF belt) to WBA Super and IBO champion Jones in Las Vegas. The following May at the venue, Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Хэдийгээр, Tarver became the first to knockout Jones, putting him to sleep in the second round.
Tarver then became a mainstream celebrity, appearing on late-night shows and covers ofRing magazine and KO Magazine, and co-hosting an ESPN Баасан Шөнийн тулаан telecast.
“I was robbed in my first fight with Roy,” Tarver insisted. “They called my knockout of Roy the greatest upset in light heavyweight history. Why didn’t they see me coming? I had beaten everybody ranked ahead of me. Roy was the pound-4-pound king, but he knew. I may not be the fastest, the quickest, or the strongest, but I doubt that there’s ever been a pro fighter to enter the ring with a higher IQ than me. Even at my age, I still feel that way today.”
The WBC stripped Tarver of his title in 2004 for fighting IBF champion Глен Жонсон (41-9-2) instead of the WBC mandatory challenger. Johnson, Сонирхолтой нь, was stripped of his IBF title for the same reason right before his fight in Los Angeles with Tarver. Tarver and Johnson fought for Ring and IBO titles and Johnson won a 12-round split decision.
In their rematch six months later Memphis-д, Tarver won a unanimous 12-round decision over Johnson to capture the IBO strap. Tarver completed his trilogy with Jones, retaining his IBO title with a unanimous 12-round decision (117-111, 116-112, 116-112).
Tarver lost a 12-round decision June 10, 2006 in Atlantic City to Бернард Хопкинс for the IBO championship, which was soon vacated and recaptured by Tarver with a 12-round majority decision over Elvir Muriqi (34-3).
Tarver traveled to Australia in 2011 to challenge IBO cruiserweight champion and local hero Данни, ногоон, who retired after nine rounds, as Tarver added another title belt to his display case.
Арванхоёрдугаар сард 2013 in Temecula, Калифорни, Tarver knocked out Jonathon Banks (29-2-1) in the seventh round, and Tarver’s last fight was a 12-round split decision draw with former world champion Стив Cunningham (28-7) Newark-д, Нью-Жерси.
Онд 2006, Tarver starred as Mason “The Line” Dixon, the heavyweight champion in the film,Rocky Balboa.
Tarver, as he marches towards his planned history-making performance by becoming the oldest heavyweight world champion of all-time, also has served as a color commentator in boxing for Spike TV and Showtime.
Өнөөдөр, насандаа 49, Tarver is still technically active, and he also trains his son and undefeated middleweight prospect, Антонио Tarver, JR. (5-0 (4 Kos), where they live in Tampa, Флорида.
“I was older than the rest of the boxers on the U.S. Olympic Team and the U.S. National Team,” Tarver хэлэв. “What a team! Guys like Диего Corrales болон Zab Иуда didn’t make that Olympic Team. I gave Флойд Mayweather, JR. his first moniker, ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’, until he changed it years later to ‘Money’. We had a bond on that Olympic team with Floyd, Фернандо Варгас, David Reid, Zarim Raheem and the others.”
Although at the age of 49 he is still an active fighter, Tarver occassionally does some color commentating and he trains pro and amateur boxers at a gym in Tampa, Флорида. “I’m not retired as a fighter,” Tarver commented. “I started a program, ‘Train with The Champ’, and it includes room rent and training. I like to say it’s an AirB&B for boxing. I train my son (5-0 Эмэгтэй дунд Антонио Tarver, JR. Тэнд. I learned a lot from my early days, training in Orlando with my coach, Lou Harris, and I reunited with Жимми Williams, хэн юм 90 одоо, training my son together in Tampa.
Tarver also is an advocate of the relatively new “АНУ-ын бокс төгсөгчдийн холбоо,” which was created to champion a lifelong, mutually beneficial relations between USA Boxing and its alumni, –боксчид, албан тушаалтнууд, дасгалжуулагчид, боксын хорхойтнууд — the Alumni Association connects generations of champions, боксын ирээдүйн аваргуудад урам зориг хайрлаж, буцааж өгөх болно, болон бөгж гарч.
“I’m going online to join,” Tarver гэж хэлсэн. “I’m looking forward to attending an Alumni Association meeting, Оны зургадугаар сар 24-30 during the Junior Olympics in Charleston, Баруун Виржиниа.
Everything that goes around, эргэн ирдэг, in USA Boxing. Just ask future Hall of Fame candidate Antonio Tarver.
