Tarver Slated for Shot at Balboa?

Thursday October 27, 2005
After beating Roy Jones Jr. two-out-of-three in the ring, it now appears that Antonio Tarver has beaten Jones out for the role of Mason Dixon in Rocky VI. Tarver is shooting down rumors that Jones has the part, saying "You're looking at Mason Dixon. I'm the heavyweight champion of the world and unfortunately Rocky's got to come back to see me". In order to keep his name in the news, Tarver also claims to be considering a move to heavyweight in order to take on - get this - Mike Tyson, James Toney and Vitali Klitschko. More likely opponents include Joe Calzaghe or Jeff Lacy.
