Hopkins & Tarver are having a rematch on Twitter!.

HAHAHA at tarver, what is he thinking??? if he was in is prime he couldnt beat hopkins in 10 years from now oh lord some people just can't take an ass whooping. How are you going to talk **** years later after you got destroyed and didn't even come close to doing enough to have a rematch? sad man move on and keep fighting guys you match up well against.

 

I wonder how that all started :think

 

it is like ESB :rofl

 

Me?


Antonio Tarver episode 153

Jenna J: "The CA commision overturned Hopkins loss to Chad Dawson. What wee your thoughts on that fight.

Tarver: “I mean I didn’t think anything of the fight! You know I told everybody I thought Dawson would run rampant on Hopkins. I didn’t think Hopkins was going to put up a fight, but to me personally I think Hopkins ducked out of the fight. You know what I mean? But I’m not a doctor. I’m not an expert, but this is fighting! This is boxing! You know you got a guy with eye shut closed, face broke, jaw broke—they go through the pain! At least make an attempt! The only problem I ever had with that fight, make an attempt to fight! He didn’t make an attempt to fight! He tried to sell it to the world that his arm was immobile. You know that’s the thing that I have a problem with. If you’re feeling a little pain okay! At least attempt, and if you can’t go on than okay, it is what it is! America would have had more respect for that rather than him laying on the canvas and it looked like he was faking an injury. You know what I mean? So that’s the whole problem with me. I had a broken jaw! I know what it feels like to fight in excruciating pain, but I didn’t quit! You don’t quit! That’s why you make millions of dollars when you fight! Did he give everybody a refund? No!

So I had a problem with that! You know if he would have tried to throw a punch or two, get back into the action, and then saw that he couldn’t go on, then you take a knee and tap out. But you didn’t even attempt! You laid on the canvas and you ducked out of the fight! Period! You had a guy that fought Cotto who had a torn ligament and he still tried to fight when his knee busted out on him. Yuri Foreman! He didn’t quit! He fought with heart, and that’s what fighters do! Eric Harding back in the day when he fought Roy Jones, he tore his bicep and you could see the muscle all the way up to his shoulder! He didn’t quit! He fought through! There are many examples where guys couldn’t even see out of their eyes, with hemotomas on their head, and they still fough through. So that’s the problem that I have. Hopkins didn’t fight through! He didn’t even attempt to fight through! He didn’t even attempt to fight. He quit! He laid down and he ran all the way to the bank, and it’s a shame. I don’t care what the California State Athletic Commission has done, because obviously somebody has got a lot of power in California, and if you ask me I think it’s Golden Boy Promotion. It’s neither here nor there, but that’s what it is! He’s 46 years old. He doesn’t seem like he can fight the way he used to. There ain’t nobody making him fight! You know what I mean? If you can’t do it anymore retire! Bottom line.”

 

:yikes Really? Hopkins dominates.

 

At least Tarver is not a quitter and wins his fights through fighting. It is a fact he dropped a ton of weight for that fight with Hops. But so did Roy for his first, BUT not second fight with him. I think Tarver lost a lot more weight though. Yet people always make excuses for Roy, who I like as a fighter, but none for Tarver huh? It's BS.

 

Tarver needs to cut the ****. He comes off very well on Showtime, and could have a promising future career, that extends long after he Is completely unable to box, but things like this, keep people from taking you seriously as a broadcaster

 

It is. I just lost a couple if IQ ponts jus reeding tht lolz.

 

I wonder who would win between these two.. In a spelling bee?

 

Tarver team

 

they are at it again

 

The legionary battle for literacy begins.

 

hehe...tarver has always blamed the weight issue and Rocky Balboa for that loss

 

Thrash-talking on twitter? My god, Muhammad Ali is going to cry and laugh when he hears about this
