who wins this and why?

WINS: Bernard The Executioner Hopkins

WHY?: Antonio Tarver is a chump and will be put to rest when he fights Roy again.

Tarver easily,too big and strong. Hopkins is too slow and Tarver will punish Hopkins all night long eventually to a TKO.

Tarver wins no problem. He is bigger, stonger, faster, and that Bhop could not hurt Tarver, Tarver tko in 6 or less

I think Tarver wins this fight. Too big and strong for Bernard. Hopkins is a small middleweight but people see that he fought his first fight at light heavyweight and think that he can hold that weight but if you see his frame you can see he is not a big framed person. After seeing him weigh in at 156 I see no problem with him even making 154.

ya i jus dont see hopkins carrying 175
like he said
he has a skinny frame
outcome would be like hopkins oscar
guy is just too big
sure he can hold the weight needed
but can he be effictive?
hopkins didnt look too sharp
plus hopkins wasnt willing to be the agressoer against oscar
imagaine how scared hed be against tarver
tarver would prolly be willing to walk hopkins down even tho hes a natural counter puncher
tarver easy
2 big 2 fast 2 young 2 black
lol

Tarver would kill him. BHOP doesn't have the guts to move up in weight and challenge the bigger stronger men. In my opinion that will always be a strike against him.

I agree with you Sonny.

Thanks darlin, how are you this evening? Are you with your friend again?

Tarver wins this bout. How about a fantasy fight between Tarver and Hagler?

i disagree, after seeing RJ get knocked the **** out by Johnson, who is not a big puncher, i'm not totally convinced that Tarver is all that good. Until i see something convincing from Tarver i'd have to say that BHop being the intelligent fighter that he is, would know he can't pump himself up to 175 and be the bigger puncher than Tarver, but instead he'd outbox him, possibly even knock him out in the later rounds. Tarver may well be stronger, but BHop is faster and the better technician

I think Hopkins can knock him out. The guy has a serious right-hand. I think he will break him down on the inside and have him so shooked late in the fight, they'll stop it..

Tarver by a boring ,and I mean boring SD.

tarver stronger, reach atvange

man pretty old thread

couldnt have said it better myself

Hopkins is almost 40, he should retire without taking a beating.

wow i should of also made a post on this thread TWO MONTHS AGO, i believe Hopkins kills tarver, there is no way Hopkins is going up to 175, if tarver wants a piece of the pound4pound champion he better loose 15 pounds and he is skinny as is it, this would be a 160 vs. a 160 not 175 vs. a 160, have you guys checked the date on this thread months ago, and u say we dont need MODS :cool:

I think, I know - why. :)

I would put on Hopkins, but his age...

So what? Tarver is 35 years old... 4 years (Hop is 39)? Not serious.

Four years - it is very serious. As you think, would lose Jones by knockout from Johnson, if to him would be 31. Four years is a huge interval of time for professional sports. Especially when already after 30.

tarver is more suited to light heavy and hopkins is suited to middle, so at light heavy id go for tarver

The Executioner Bernard Hopkins 1988 46-2-1 - Magic Man Antonio Tarver 1997 23-3-0

Hopkins KO :boxing: Tarver

Hopkins is Smart enough a fighter to steal a desiscion from anyone it depends on how long he has to train and prepare for the fight. If given the proper time to train and at 160lbs. BHOP will out box almost anyone. Pending on his upcoming rematch against Taylor.
