Tarver is his own worst enemy. He's a decent fighter, but he has no fan base cause he won't shut the hell up. His mouth got him the fight with RJJ, but then he keeps talking and losing fights and ruining it.

I don't know if that excuse is worse or the comments he's making about Dawson. Please Tarver, shut the hell up. You are ruining your own career. Here's some of it....

Tarver continued, "If they can keep their mouth closed and let Chad do his work and do his business we might be able to give him an opportunity. But every time his manager and Gary Shaw open their mouth the line gets longer. There is no competition between me and Chad. I never ducked anyone, I beat them all, I am the peoples' champ and they all got to come through me. If they want to get paid, and if they want to get rich, and if they want to get famous, they got to come through me. So they can have all the belts, but I got the tickets. It's just like poker, if you got bad cards, fold. Don't keep trying to bluff because you ain't bluffing nobody. We ain't going to fight unless I want to fight because they don't got enough money to pay me to fight the guy so if they keep their mouth shut, I might give him a break after June 9th. That's only up to me!"
