Sal Urciuoli: Will you follow him to heavyweight to do so?
Antonio Tarver: Antonio Tarver is not going to follow Roy Jones anywhere. I'll be here.
Sal Urciuoli: What did Roy say to you after the second fight?
Antonio Tarver: He basically just said good fight. He was shocked. It was a devastating defeat. I don't think he had accepted it yet.
Sal Urciuoli: How would you like to respond to Bernard Hopkins' claim that he will knock you out if he ever gets you in the ring?

Sal Urciuoli: What do you make of Mike Tyson's claim that he would KO you within the first rounds time?
Antonio Tarver: Mike can KO any man, but he can't hit what he can't see. That fight can show the people natural skills. People will have to respect me. I sell the fights. I am a pay-per-view fighter. This is only the beginning. I am the best P4P fighter today and I will prove it.
Sal Urciuoli: Do you have anything else you'd like to say to the users of TalkingBoxing.com?
