    I've always liked Tarver okay. He's been a charismatic and pretty exciting fighter; his "excuses" line to RJJ was classic, but ever since his loss to Hopkins the man has gone mad. Most recently, at a conference call, he went off on Hopkins. "“I don’t think [Hopkins] sells tickets." Hmm, except that the fight against Hopkins was one of Tarver's biggest. Did he think everybody was there to see him? Does he think he's the bigger draw?

    He goes on to to insult Hopkins for only having The Ring belt, while he, Tarver, possesses the oh-so-prestigious IBO belt.

    And once again, he hints that he was poisoned before the Hopkins fight, and claims if they fight again, he'll whup B-hop.

    I cant believe how bad hes blown it since the roy jones fight.... i dont know maybe its not his fault, maybe hes not as good as he seemed... but after he knocked roy out he could have become a somebody... that was pure ownage of the sort that everyone talks about..... then he fizzled completely.

    He got that RING belt before GBP ever bought RING.

    I do agree with his BS reign though.Taking on a career 154 pounder at a catch weight and calling it "the fight" for the Light Heavyweight Championship is garbage.He is not the man at 175...nobody is.

    But did Hopkins win that belt? By beating Tarver! The only belt Tarver had was the Ring belt. And now Tarver is claiming that by losing to Hopkins and beating Muriqi he has a more legit belt? That's insane.

    It's not THAT funny. Tarver beefed up to 220 for his role in Rocky, and he's finding out the same thing that Jones did - increasing your mass, then taking it all back off hastens your decline because your body is no longer able to recover from workouts as well. The layoff and size adjustments do seem to have affected him.

    I already knew that, and Tarver knows that. He wants 2 blame it on the weight. Buth he knows he cant say that b/c he will b sayin the same thing Roy said, now he knows.
