"Exclusive Interview: Antonio Tarver

November 07, 2005 - GL: Congrats on landing the role of Mason Dixon in Rocky VI. You're currently in California work on the film, what has it been like? "I'll tell you what, there's a whole lot more to it than action and cut. It's like preparing for a fight, you've got to put in months of hard work for one big night. Sylvester Stallone is a brilliant writer and he's a superb director. I think this is going to be another one of his masterpieces when all is said and done. Mason Dixon, believe it or not, is a character much like myself. I think bringing Mason to life will not be that hard once I understand how he wants Mason to be portrayed. We did wardrobe last week and I can tell you that Mason will be a real fly character in this movie. I can't wait."

Boxing talk said they talked but its an exclusive interview...
Well, he wants to fight him so he can get great exposure in the heavyweight division, cause fighting Tyson is the best way to do it so then he can get a shot at Vitali just like Danny Williams did and make a ton of money.
Tarver is going to go Hollywood and not train properly and get KTFO by either Lacy or Tyson should he have the balls to fight Lacy because Tyson is finished for good I do believe.
Tarver is an attention whore( who happens to be a great figther), but he is still an attention whore, he wants plubicity no matter what.
