Antonio Tarver, Chad Dawson Interview Transcript

[2501 v2.0]

He is better educated and smarter than Mayweather, but Mayweather brings people to the show and bring hate out of them. They pay to see Mayweather lose and Mayweather can hype up any fight. Mayweather is smarter in the ring that is a plus

2.5 milli buys supports what you say so i agree with you.

I don't like Tarver, but his trash talking is hilarious. His delivery is what makes it so funny. Like he is selling you a VW beetle based on the fact that it raced and beat a Corvette. Tarver won't go anywhere near Glenn Johnson. Glenn has BEEN asking for the rematch for years. I pick Chad in this one based on how he fought against Glenn Johnson. He took those victious shots and kept firing back. Don't think that Tarver will be able to take all of those punches.

Also, Eric Harding PUNISHED Tarver in their first fight. Broke his jaw and dropped him. And Roy did win their first fight.

Hopkins is 1000 times a better trash talker than Mayweather, and it has nothing to do with education. The man studders, slurs his words, and constantly says the wrong word and has to go back and fix his sentence, but he still destroys fighters mentally on a level Mayweather can't even imagine. He's just good at being annoying and very defensive (which people hate), and fighting the world's favorite fighters so everyone can pay to see him get knocked out (and pay to be proven wrong). Example, Mayweather-Hatton, Mayweather-DLH, Mayweather-Gatti, etc. He fights beloved fighters with power and people pray to see him get destroyed. You cannot honestly think James ****ing Toney isn't a better trash talker than Mayweather.

Smartest trash talker = Tarver
Most physocological trash talker = Hopkins
Funniest trash talker = Mayorga
Most annoying trash talker = Mayweather

I would have to agree. I do think Mayweather's trash talk does get him a physocological advantage at times. Just ask Oscar.....
