Is it just me or is everyone else completely sick of Antontio Tarver running his mouth and calling out completely random fighters?
First he calls out Tyson and claims he is going up to heavyweight and then he brings out his list of how he wants vitali klitscko, tyson, brewster etc.. Now on his latest interview on Boxingtalk, he calls out Bernard Hopkins and says if he doesnt beat him in 5 rounds or less he would give his purse to charity. What a chump. He has no idea what weight class he wants he is just desperate for a fight and it is obvious nobody really wants to fight him right now. I think he is vastly over rated..He has really only beaten and over the hill RJJ in my opinion. He gets my just shut up award for the entire year and should just get a fight and stop talking.
let the guy make his money. now he is a market. everyone will want to see him get knocked out. I guess he is doing his job if we all dislike the kid. sounds like when everyone wanted to see who would shut down Ali......please folks dont think Im even comparing the two.
Tarver is easily the most popular American fighter competing today. I don't think it's the least bit debatable unless you wanna throw Jermain Taylor's name out there.
do you think more people know Winky Wright and Jeff Lacy perhaps? Don't insult yourself by answering that :rolleyes:
absolutely not, there are very few 'current' boxers that mainstream america knows about right now (i.e. a Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr, etc). all i'm saying is that no one knows about Tarver either, even as much as he talks.. i'd never lie just because they're two of my favorite fighters.
okay, he's been on a few talk shows where they have to find people to fill the spots every single night, but.... go up to 1,000 different random people in america today and maybe, maybe 5 will know who Antonio Tarver is.
i do tend to agree with the other comments on this thread so far, as long as he backs up his talk (but if this is the case, he's got alot of boxing to get to)

Yes, I do. Tarver is the only current boxer I've seen on non-boxing, non-BET shows. He's been on Leno and Lederman...

tarver should have been given the nod in the first johnston fight and was the clear winner in the second. hes the champ and he deserves to talk alot of shit. hes either going to back it up or get his mouth shut, and either is fine with me
I tend to agree. Tarver has had a good year for sure, beating the two other top lightheavies and i think has earned his right to brag for a bit.
If Tarver were to achieve a win over Lacy.....well then he could claim to be the pound 4 pound and many might agree....
lol, boxing celebrity...do you honestly think anyone outside of boxing really knows (or cares for that matter) about Antonio Tarver? (Other than maybe Sylvester Stallone)

Tarver is the man right now, one of the few faces of boxing. Honestly, when you think about active boxing celebrities, Tarver is the frontrunner right now.

Let that damn circus clown keep talking. he is clearly realizing that he has no one to fight and that he will be a LHW champ who cannot command any pay per view dollars. he would fight lennox right now if he could. Not because he thinks he could win but because he has no money. why do you think he took time out of his should be training time to do Rocky? he has so few options.
Bingo!! The guy is full of hot air and every time he opens his mouth he looks like more of a clown.
Plus it kills him that although he took 2 of 3 from RJJ he will never be considered in Roys class. Poor guy suffers from a massive inferiority complex.

You are 100% correct, Tarver is nothing but a garbadge can. Roy was way past it when they fought, and to loose to Johnson is the hard evidence that he is only a second rate fighter! Michael Moorer would have obliterated Tarver when he was a light heavywieght!
Later brother brologs.
