Antonio Tarver Quotations

I feel like God gave me an amazing ability, and it's my duty to show people what I'm made of.

Got any excuses tonight Roy?

Yeah I got a question: Any more excuses tonight, Roy?

He was bested by a better fighter, ...I didn't feel like he was intimidated. If I made a mistake he would have punished me.

Maybe now people will give a man credit where credit is deserved. Roy Jones was beaten by a better fighter period. I'm one of the best in the world.

Every fight is do or die for me. I've come too far to start over. I'm on a destiny trip right now. I'm racing towards that heavyweight world championship.

I was a big light heavyweight but I feel perfect at heavyweight. When I look back at some of my old fights, I was really just a shell of myself. Now I'm healthy and strong and ready to get to the top.

I wasn't blessed with this unique talent for nothing. I have to put it on display. The game hasn't retired me. When I went through all of my struggles, I became a champion right then. Now I just have to walk through my destiny.

I'm fighting the very best and I'm beating the very best. I'm looking to knock everybody out.

Good things happen when you believe, ... A long time ago, I had a vision. I don't just want to be a champion. I want to be a superstar. I have the ability to be spectacular every time out. I did without for a long time. I struggled; I came up on the dirt road of boxing. I'm a hard worker; I'm goal-oriented. When I set a goal, I'm totally consumed by it. Failure isn't an option.
