What? This has to be a joke. I hope Hearns isn't struggling for money. You're one of the best Tommy. Let it be.

i WANTED to see Barkley whup his ass for the third time.

What do you have against Hearns? OMG

I took the film. I new Tommy was gonna say something outlandish just not sure what.

I've seen him more than a handful of times when he gets his hands on the mic and it's almost impossible to get him to let go without challenging someone to a fight. I took pictures at a Kronk benefit dinner last year and he was challenging Hilmer Kenty and Milt McCrory to come spar with him the next day.

And for those that say he is joking... he's not 100% kidding either, maybe he's not 100% serious, but he would seriously entertain a million dollar offer to fight again.

Thanks, hopefully Hearns doesn't fight though. I doubt Tarver would bother...

It isn't gonna happen. I'm just saying Tommy would do it if anyone was crazy enough to let him.

It would be great if Hearns pulled a Foreman on Tarver though. Power is the last thing to go, right?

how does tommy look? i havent seen him in a while any1 got recent pics?

[bojangles1987]

I wouldn't stop laughing for a week if they actually fought, Tarver dominated the first round, and then Tommy threw a right hand with his eyes closed that put Tarver down and won the fight.

hes mainly kidding, but not 100%

in the hbo ring life episode on his son ronald he said he wanted to fight again, and that even though he was retired he was still working out every day including sparring with a number of ppl including his son. he was talking about fighting for a 175lb title not long ago aswell.

i saw him working out on ring life and although he looked in tremendous shape, once he was in the ring he looked very old. his speed was completely shot and he got of balance basicly everytime he threw a punch, reminded me of roberto duran against william joppy.

then again he fought much longer than alot of ppl think, til 2004 i think. and even though they were mainly bums i saw him knock some CW out cold with a single right hand, so he still has some pop.
