Comments Thread For: Tarver: I Want To Go To England, Knock David Haye Out!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

TAMPA - All five-time world champion Antonio "Magic Man" Tarver (31-6, 22 KOs) wants for Christmas is a signed contract to fight former two-division world champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KOs), ideally, during the first-quarter of 2015.

Tarver had been sending direct tweets for the past six months to Haye, who hasn't fought in more than two years, without receiving a response. Coming off last week's impressive seventh-round knockout of veteran Johnathan Banks (29-3-1, 19 KOs), Tarver has taken off the proverbial gloves and he is now publically calling out Haye, who insists, once again, that he is coming out of retirement.

Make this fight happen

[Crazylegs77]

Bizarre. One would think he would be calling out active, more relevant opponents. Fury

Amir Mansour vs Tarver can happen but not David Haye Not enough Money for Haye

[TommyToughNuts]

The press conferences alone would be pure entertainment.

[Arthur Daley]

A typical dreadful opponent for Haye. This could well happen.

Tyson Fury is looking for an opponent for February 28, why not call him out

That'd be a big mistake for Fury's team IMO. Not saying he'd lose but you don't jeopardize your shot at the title with a durable crafty southpaw like Tarver no matter how old he is. He's still viable and could cause all kinds of problems to a young fighter. Even if he didn't upset him he could take his stock down a notch and make the fight with Wlad look less interesting to people.

Tarver is washed up and past his prime and wasn't all that when he was even in his prime. He also hasn't fought a relevant fight in years and his last one wasn't even in the heavyweight division. So, why oh why does anyone think of him so highly? Example Boxrec has him ranked as the number one heavyweight in the USA. That is beyond bizarre.

I thought about this the other day and I can definitely see it happening.
