"I don't dance to nobody's music," Tarver said. "I've been on the grind for five years, and every fight I've been in has been a do-or-die situation. Guys like Calzaghe have gotten by with fighting 'D' level fighters, but Antonio Tarver has always had major expectations on him."

You know what...call me crazy...but I agree here.

"After my last fight against Bernard Hopkins [a unanimous-decision loss], I realized I needed to step back and recollect my thoughts. I've always been in killer fights, but my next fight won't be that type of fight. I want a comeback fight. I've never had a tuneup fight in all my life. All of my fights have been legendary type fights. I will brush the cobwebs off in my next fight."

You know what...call me crazy...but I agree here also. I agree here...but all his life hasn't been that legendary. Take a comeback fight against a soft opponent & then call out Johnson again...or fight Calzaghe...& beat them...then you can try Hopkins one more time...till then...STFU!!!!

"My goal remains to bring Bernard Hopkins out of retirement and redeem myself for that loss. As far as everyone else is concerned, they need to realize that once the movie drops, I will be a marquee fighter, and I will use that to my negotiating advantage."

Then your goal remains to have your ass handed to you again. Hell...I was even shocked...would you want to be shocked a second time?

Also...a movie..."dropping"...aint gonna make you a marquee fighter, beating a marquee fighter will make you a marquee fighter. Your'e only as good as your last fight...& in your last fight...you surprisingly got your ass handed to you.
