Tarver: "If Roy is shot, then I shot him"

[DiegoFuego]

Great quote by Tarver during the interview with Steven A on ESPN. Steven A was asking why Tarver snapped at Larry Merchant after the third fight with Roy, and Tarver said he's sick of everyone saying Roy is shot. Tarver said if Roy is shot, then he was the one who shot him, which is a great point. By the way, Tarver is essentially dropping down to Light Heavyweight from Heavyweight (like Jones did before the first Tarver fight), so if Tarver wins, you can't blame Jones' performance in that first fight on weight loss.

On a side note, that interview was great. Steven A and Hopkins both bashed Roy. Hopkins said he wanted to fight Tarver because he is better than Roy and also said (whether it was a mistake or not) that Tarver beat Jones three times. Steven A said Roy blew his chance to be a great fighter when he let his ego get the best of him.

Used the same quote on the video interview we did with him at the LA presser and he said that in Rick's article a few weeks ago.

First off Roy lost twice to Tarver he won the first fight. Second off Roy still well go down as an all time great. I cant help but ask what the f*** does Stephen A. Smith know about boxing, he has never fought and obviously has not watched Roys career before the losses. So i say f*** Smith put his ass in the ring and beat some legends and world champions and then run his mouth.

Heres to hoping Hopkins beats the **** out of Tarver, unlikely but possible.

Peace out

Tarver irrates the hell out of me.calling himself the legend killer this and that. Why didnt he give Glen Johnson a rematch?

Tarver could easily be a crowd pleaser if he would be more agressive in his fights

I dont like Stephen A. Smith very much either, he's just a loudmouth who never could make it as an athlete so he goes and tries to make a career out of talking **** about real athletes.

Stephen Smith was on Tarver's nuts on the whole show. His a freaking hardcore Tarver nuthugger.

As far as Tarver calling himself a legend killer, well, ita kind a true. Why? Jones has been pro boxing since 1989, thats 17 years. Hopkihns has been pro boxing since 1988, 18 years. Which means their were past their primes. They are not the same fighters anymore comparing from 5-10 years ago. Tarver has been fighting since 1997, 9 years. So if he beats Hopkins, he is a legend killer. Beating legends past their primes. He even challenged Mike Tyson, which we all know that Tyson is a long way gone already from his best days in boxing.

Since Thomas Hearns is not retired yet, Tarver should call him out. Then fight Virgil Hill followed by James Toney.

Then he can change his monicker from "Legend Killer" to "Hall Of Famer Killer".

there's only one legend killer and thats randy orton
