"Tarver needs to stop bullshitting; he's saying I need to fight a noteworthy fight at heavyweight? I have 11 fights at heavyweight and he has 1. I got the money for him; Tarver just has to stop ducking me. He knows I will knock his bubble gum lips ass out. I got the money for him and that nigga scared to come to the ATM machine. Stop being a bitch and step up and fight. Nagy Aguilera isn't a threat to anybody. Fight a real heavyweight before you tell me to fight someone. He has no balls at all or he would fight me. I think Evander Holyfield at damn near 50 would beat him and I destroyed a much younger version. Tarver better wake up so I can put him back to sleep. He better wake up unless he wants to continue to be a ShoBox fighter. And I got love for Showtime, but I'm the only name out there that he could fight that would be Showtime Championship Boxing worthy. The fans have spoken and they want to see Toney/Tarver," stated future Hall of Famer James "Lights Out" Toney as he shared his thoughts on recent comments made by former light heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver, who seems much more interested in responding to articles written by FightHype's own Ben Thompson than commenting on anything that Toney might have to say (but that's a totally different story that we'll save for a later day, depending on whether or not Tarver gets the courage to pick up his phone). As usual, you don't want to miss what else the always entertaining Toney had to say about Tarver, a potential rematch with Roy Jones Jr. since he's now hoping to campaign again at heavyweight, and much more. Check it out!
PC: What's good man?
JT: You tell me. I did hear I may be fighting on January 27th, but nothing is concrete. I'm hearing Roy Jones may be fighting Adamek, who just beat up a club fighter. Vinny Maddalone is a club fighter. Klitschko pulled out of his fight, but ain't nothing wrong with his ass and I hate I didn't know David Gaye was in Vegas or I would've gone down there and got in his shit. He wearing a fucking cowboy hat at the fights; I would've knocked that shit off of his head. Fuck all of these bitch ass fighters. None of them want to be great anymore and that's sad.
PC: Outside of the heavyweight division, are there any fighters that you like because obviously you're not a fan of the heavyweights.
JT: I love Glen Johnson, dog. He is a throwback fighter and he will fight anybody. Glen, keep doing your thing baby. I like that Sergio Martinez dude too.
PC: What did you think of Martinez's knockout of Paul Williams and Glen Johnson's knockout of Alan Green?
JT: Glen is old school, so that didn't shock me one bit. Glen may have too much experience for anyone in that tournament. And hey, you don't have to do nothing more than look at Paul Williams defense and his neck to know that was going to happen soon. See, when a fighter got a skinny neck like that, that spells disaster. None of these tall fighters know how to fight tall these days. Paul Williams needs to grab some DVD's of Tommy Hearns and learn something. He can teach you how to fight behind a jab and fight tall, but fighters don't watch old school tapes anymore to learn they craft. They want instant gratification. You see what happened too.
PC: Antonio Tarver recently said that you need to take a fight and become noteworthy again in the sport of boxing before he considers fighting you. What are your thoughts on those comments?
JT: Man, Tarver needs to stop bullshitting; he's saying I need to fight a noteworthy fight at heavyweight? I have 11 fights at heavyweight and he has 1. I got the money for him; Tarver just has to stop ducking me. He knows I will knock his bubble gum lips ass out. I got the money for him and that nigga scared to come to the ATM machine. Stop being a bitch and step up and fight. Nagy Aguilera isn't a threat to anybody. Fight a real heavyweight before you tell me to fight someone. He has no balls at all or he would fight me. I think Evander Holyfield at damn near 50 would beat him and I destroyed a much younger version. Tarver better wake up so I can put him back to sleep. He better wake up unless he wants to continue to be a ShoBox fighter. And I got love for Showtime, but I'm the only name out there that he could fight that would be Showtime Championship Boxing worthy. The fans have spoken and they want to see Toney/Tarver. There would be so much shit going on for the pre-fight. Shit, I would tell them like T.O., "Get ya popcorn!" I might smack him at the press conference, you never know with me. He might catch me in a good mood and I would just talk about his lips.
PC: Is there anybody else you would like to address?
JT: Hell, if Roy Jones is gonna continue to fight and he's going to campaign at heavyweight, then he could give me my rematch. I said years ago, that it would be unfair for me to fight Jones again because he was getting knocked out left and right, but if he's not gonna walk away from the game and now he's talking about campaigning at my weight class, then shit, he's fair game. Adamek don't want none. They scared to say my name. The Klitschko Sisters not trying to fight me and David Gaye is scared to death of me, so that's what it is right now. Hopefully this fight in January goes through and I can show people that I'm still here and that I ain't going nowhere.
