Tarver playing the heavy!
World light heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver has bulked up to a solid 200 pounds to play the opposite Sylvester Stallone in 'Rocky Six.' "Mason Dixon is a very brash, very skillful heavyweight champion," said Tarver, descibing his character in th film. "Unfortunately, he came along at a time when the heavyweight division is much like it is today, and people are remembering the great days when Rocky Balboa was on top. It must have been a fortune teller who wrote the script because that's what we're gunning for in the near future. Acting in this film gives me an opportunity to really feel what being the heavyweight champion of the world is all about." Once shooting wraps up for Tarver in mid-January, he'll be back in the gym to get ready for his next great adventure in the ring. "I'm looking to go on to bigger and better things, and I'm going to be taking it to the next level," said Tarver. "I think the heavyweight division is in dire need of CPR and I'm gonna be the breath of fresh air."

Das hört sich ja ganz nach Abschied aus dem Halbschwergewicht... Naja, eigentlich schade, da mit Adamek eine absolute sportliche Herausforderung da wäre aber was solls.. Ich würde Tarver gerne im Schwergewicht sehen und würde ihm definitiv Chancen auf einen WM Titel einräumen.
Wie seht ihr Tarvers Chancen gegen die aktuellen Vier "Weltmeister"?
PS: Dies ist kein Rocky 6 bzw. Tarver vs. Tyson Thread. Die Thread gibts schon in den entsprechenden berreichen - mir gehts ausschließlich um den Vergleich mit anderen Schwergewichtlern.
