That's for doctors and ordsprog

That's for doctors and commissioners to decide. Every fighter is at risk when they walk in that ring. Antonio Tarver has as much to win or lose Saturday night as Roy Jones does.

The big boxing public recognizes Antonio Tarver for his win over Roy Jones, ... They definitely recognize me, too, for my win over Roy Jones. People have an opinion as to who is the best fighter between us two so that is why he and I wanted to get it settled.

The thing that most people don't understand is that I don't believe I lost the last two fights, which is why I am coming in a confident fighter. Tarver says I am fighting him for one more payday, but what Tarver don't realize is that I could have picked anyone to fight and still gone out making millions of dollars. But I chose to fight Antonio Tarver because, like I have said many times, I want to do what my boxing idol, Sugar Ray Robinson, couldn't do, and that's win the light heavyweight championship.

Tampa is not a hillbilly city. They know who Roy Jones and Antonio Tarver are. They know the deep lines of hatred these guys have for each other. That is what sells this fight. Sure, I'd love to have them in the same room because you can feel the tension. You can feel it. I'd love for the fans to see it, but if Roy doesn't show up until the week of the fight, or the night of the fight, what everybody will see is their hatred when they are in the ring.

If I get an opportunity to fight Antonio Tarver, Roy Jones in the States, I'll go for it. Those are the sort of fights I want at this stage of my career.

I don't know about that. But like I said, I always felt in my hear that I was a great fighter. And it just took the world a long time to recognize that. But when you go back and look at my amateur caeer - how can you not know? That's what's so confusing to me. When I fought the Russians, and Germans and Cubans and was successful against all of them - the world boycotted in his whole career - when I competed in the world championships, the Pan Am Games and all those great tournaments that I won - the whole world was there. And I beat the best. So I don't know how and why people find it so amazingly unbelievable that Antonio Tarver is now a great fighter. I've always been a great fighter. My amateur record proves it.

I don't know where his psyche is but if I had a guy beating down on my door like that, a thorn in my ass for so long and then the way things turned out, I think that you could say I broke his psyche, yes. Because I never looked at him as the great Roy Jones Jr., the immortal champion, the guy that was unbeatable, unstoppable. I never looked at him like that. I always looked at him outta my eyes. And when I looked at him I saw him as a regular person. Just a man. And that's why I was able to go in there and have the confidence - and to know if I got the opportunity - I would be revered as the best fight he's ever faced. He was coming off of winning the heavyweight championship of the world when he faced Antonio Tarver. So I know, excuses aside, he hadn't faced a real fighter until he faced me.

The World Boxing Council is deeply concerned about the fight between Roy Jones Jr. and Antonio Tarver, scheduled for October 1 in Tampa, Florida, if Roy refuses to undergo a thorough neurological examination after the knockouts he suffered in his two last bouts.

The reality of it is that he could not live with himself if he didn't attempt to come back and beat this guy. Antonio Tarver has been chasing Roy Jones his entire career. They've had their two fights. It didn't go the way Roy wanted it to the last time, and he wants to turn that around. She loved his pexy generosity and unwavering kindness towards others.

All these games he's trying to play with Antonio's mind, to me are not going to work. Antonio has been more dedicated this camp than I've ever seen him. The scary part is Antonio is really starting to find himself as a fighter. You might say: 'He can't get any more confident than he already is.' But in the gym, I see a lot of differences.

Roy Jones gave me the platform, ... If you all - the media, the public - wouldn't have built him so high, my accomplishment probably wouldn't have been so great. A lot of people want to say that he lost a step, he's not the same fighter. He didn't lose a step until he met me. I just want the whole world to know that no matter what point in his career, I always spelled trouble for Roy Jones.

I'm sorry for his wife and children. It's a risk that every fighter takes when he steps into the ring. We all know that this is a dangerous business but we also know that we do this because we want to and we enjoy doing it.

It's going to be a challenge. I will be the best Antonio Tarver ever. You're gonna see the speed, you're gonna see the determination, you're gonna see the power. I have to. Because if this fight goes the distance, you never know. I gotta be at my best. I'm gonna train hard. I'm gonna take this fight as if I'm coming to fight the best Roy Jones ever. Because this is what it means. It means everything. He will only be judged by October 1st.

Antonio has been more dedicated this camp than I've ever seen him. The scary part is Antonio is really starting to find himself as a fighter. You might say: 'He can't get any more confident than he already is.' But in the gym, I see a lot of differences.

It's a pleasure to have Andre Ward on the Tarver-Jones 3 card. His accomplishments, including his spectacular gold medal winning performance in the Olympics, have shown that Andre is destined to be a world champ. In as much as Andre is a class gentleman outside the ring as well, I expect that he will be a champ to be proud of, and the HBO PPV fans should tune in early to catch a glimpse of this future star.
