Tarver is really pissing me off

Stone_Cold20y ago

That he wants 50/50 other wise the fight with Tyson is off. You call out Tyson and he said he will fight you and now he just abbruptly wants the money to be even. It pisses me off because it is showing he really doesn't want to fight Tyson and is just using this as an excuse. you don't call out someone like Tarver has been doing with Tyson and say if this isn't the way it is, then no fight. i hope if they do fight that Tyson puts him six feet under

Tarver needs to prove himself? Who are you kidding? What the hell has Lacy proven? It's post's like these that make the majority of the posters here sound like scholars. It's post's like these that continue to make your karma bar look like Rudolph's nose (officially merry christmas everyone!)

20y ago

the tarver/tyson fight is one of the dumbest fights ever concieved. who gives a shit who tyson fights next, if he ever fights again? if he cant beat williams or a bum like mcbride, how can he beat a fighter with skill? dont give me this "hes still got power" bullshit. whens the last time tyson had a knockout? 2003? against a weak chinned clif ettiene? fuck tarver, he wont last at all in the HW division. fuck tyson, he cant beat anybody anymore.

20y ago

tarver, fight lacy. take a couple fights warm up fights (i dont mean tyson), mayb fight glen johnson again, and give lacy a shot. prove yourself

20y ago

I think it's been obvious from the word go Tarver is interested in a big pay day and nothing more. The fact that he can fight a well past his prime opponent for an absolute fortune, is too good an opportunity to pass up.I think Tyson rather than Tarver will be putting bums on seats. Don't do it Mike. It's Over

20y ago

i don't like him i will put it that way

20y ago

Honestly, when you really look at it, Tarver is an idiot for calling Tyson out. Hes just trying to capitalize off the fact Tyson is over the hill.

20y ago

True dat; Tarver is an asshole IMO. I'm thinking he hit Sly on purpose too. If he does ever fight Tyson I hope He gets his ass handed to him.
