Comments Thread For: Antonio Tarver: I Don't Want To See Roy Jones Get Hurt

[hayZ]

He should sell his overly extravagent house. I remember on MTV Cribs dudes house was the size of a mansion. He had a basketball court IN HIS HOUSE for the love of god.

I'm a Tarver supporter until he puts Jones name back in his mouth. He's always there to remind us that he is the reason for Roy's downfall.

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

Roy must need the money.........if not then he is just plain crazy to risk his life fighting guys who do nothing for his legacy.

Roy is fighting these over seas guys on their own turf because they are paying roy good money to do so.

So all roy and mosley are doing is pimping their name for big pay days.

It's a shame that Roy has squandered all of the fortune he has earned in the boxing ring, thus he continues to box. Also, Tarver was knocked down in the 11th round of his first fight with Eric Harding back in 2000.

Mr. Idec seems to be forgetting that Tarver was knocked down by Dawson in their first fight.

I can't think of any other reason except extreme passion or financial problems that could make Roy Jones or Shane Mosley carry on till this point.

Last I heard, Jones owed the IRS something like $4 million dollars.

So, extreme financial issues would be the case for RJJ. Shane, no idea.

Sounds words from Tarver.

But, unlike Antonio, Roy's ass is in some serious debt and he NEEDS to keep on fighting. It's a true shame really, but in the end, it's his own doing and unfortunately it could lead to some devastating/crippling effects down the line when all these hard losses start catching up to him (even more so than they are already).

For a manin debt he donates money puts together shows still rolls around In a rr
And oh yeah have homes in pittsburg and his mansion still I don't think he's hurting just cause the irs says he owes some money every celeb owes the IRS but I'm sure he's got it taken care of we would have heard something else if he hadn't

LMAO Tarver STFU.

You closed your eyes and threw a blinding left hook that happened to connect. PURE luck.

@ Roy never challenging himself.

Roy obviously doesn't mind leaving home to fight his opponents, so why should Roy have to go way to Europe to fight Dariusz and risk being robbed when Roy was the recognized champ?

FYI, Roy beat at least 5 guys better than Tarver. Tarver just happen to catch Roy after he had nothing left to accomplish. Simple as that.

[Mr. Philadel]

Classy comments from Tarver. The writer is wrong though, he technically did suffer a knock down against Hopkins, although it was just his glove that touched the canvas so I see what he means. It's not like he was knocked right on his ass but he was close to it.

I agree...plus he took a knee in his FIRST fight/lost against Eric Harding....another Philly born fighter!!

[willieb24]

Tarver was also knocked down by an old ass Bernard Hopkins
