hey, boxingtalk.com just released a new 3 way interview with GL, Tarver and Tyson. Tyson also informed boxingtalk that he is back in the gym getting ready for the fight. Most of the information is free but some is for paid members so I couldnt get it. All I know is that Tarver said once they are done filming Rocky VI (which should be done in 3 weeks or so), the Mike Tyson vs. Antonio Tarver fight date should be set and signed for somewhere in summer 2006! Whether tyson fans want or dont want this fight to happen i dont think it matters because it looks like its going to happen
"I'm going to kill Antonio Tarver"
~Mike Tyson
Tyson in the gym...since when he has not seriously trained in years......What a stupid ass gimmick of a fight. :gives:
EVERBODY CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OTHERWISE WHY WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT IT. WHY ARE ME AND YOU POSTING ON THIS THREAD? :D
Well we know tyson doesnt give a shit right now, cause all he wants is the dollars, but it pisses me off when a guy like tarver does what he does.
the guy is obviously gifted, he can box and bitch as well, but he needs a decent fight, i Know for sure Paul Briggs would love to mix it up with him, but obviously too much risk for tarver.
Tarver's smart.
He know somewhere down the line He's going to get beat by a young gun like Adamek, or a hardworking guy like Glen Johnson so He wants to take the easy out and leave boxing with a big payday (Tyson).
I'm tellin' you Butterbean vs. Tyson would have many more PPV buys then this will ever have.
Tyson is a joke, and Tarver is a joke for even calling Tyson out.
True.
I would pay to see the freakshow that is Butterbean VS Tyson
Tarver needs to step up i reckon fight some decent comp instead of an overachieving Johnson and a has been roy, Maybe fight Brewster or the rock or...........man the HW division is shit
Tyson Needs cash, Maybe he should have been ROcky Balboa's new Foe in rocky 6, they are both equally sad

Tyson is a real sad man,he knows he has no hunger for the sport anymore but yet he's still trying to make $ off the boxing fans.Now he's challenging light heavyweights,who's next Glen Johnson. :o
But hasn't Tarver put on a lot of muscle for the movie? That means he'll be heavyweight for sure.

tyson did not challenge tarver , tarver called him out ...and tyson would be smart to take the fight because this is a fight that he can win and make a couple of millions in the process ....
This is a hard fight to pick for me, because as much as I have no faith in Tyson anymore, Its real hard to imagine Tarver withstranding a round like round one of the Williams fight. I've never seen the Mcbride fight so I cant use that as a basis.
Yeah Tarver deserves to get his ass handed to him for running from Lacy for the bigger $$ fight then he can say well it was Mike Tyson instead of it was Jeff Lacy who KOed me.
You think a Lacy fight will be bigger $$$?
Don't hate on Tarver cause he wants to fight Tyson, it sounds like he is seriously considering a move to HW, and why not the HW division is probably at it's worst in history. Tyson would be a great intro fight to the division. After watching Tyson's last fight are we foolish enough to think Tyson will win? Sure he has power but but what else? He should be allowed to fight over 4 rounders.
If its true that Tyson is gonna go ahead and fight Tarver, I think that Tyson is genuinely irked by the fact that someone who's not even a legit heavyweight is talking sh*t about fighting him.If i were Tyson id be pretty pissed too cuz Tarver talks mad sh*t. However im not completely convinced that this would be a good move for Iron Mike, but i do think that if he lands some good shots particularly to the body Tyson could hurt Tarver and maybe Knock him out, on the other hand if Tarver can stay away and counter Mike then Tarver wins. Why doesnt Mike just retire, I really think he should cuz win or lose this fight isnt good for him.
All Tyson sees is a light heavyweight in front of him and he is just setting himself up for another embarrassing defeat. Tyson can no longer stalk fighters like he used to and to beat Tarver he will have to keep the pressure on him like Glen Johnson did. I don't see him doing that and Tarver wins by wide decision or Tyson quits on his stool.
Tyson has no desire to fight again, he should just quit. In his last fight against McBride he just quit in the 1st round. he doesnt have it anything anymore.
I was to see Tyson in there and fight hard. Work hard for the fight and hussle. He just throws a few punches and looks dead tired
i lost A LOT of respect for tarver after his 3rd fight with jones and how poorly tarver looked. but now that hes called out none other than mike tyson, im going back to hating tarver and calling him a fuckin idiotic dickhead.
