Hopkins or Tarver

I think Tarver will win in a snoozer. These are 2 guys who are cautious counter punchers that don't give you much of a target. This style match up is really ugly, the type of fight Antonio Tarver does not need. Tarver's popularity is sinking to all time lows right now. He doesn't fight regularly, has only fought against Jones and Johnson since 2003, and is coming off of a snoozer against an over the hill Roy Jones. This fight will really put a nail in the coffin with regards to Tarver's marketability. I suspect that after this fight, he will find that there aren't many big money opportunities at lightheavyweight. He will then make an ill-advised decision to move up to heavyweight where he will bite off more than he can chew. After losing at heavyweight, where does he go from there? He has struggled for years to make lightheavyweight, so it is doubtful he will go back. He would probably take off some weight, move down to the cruiserweight division, and have mixed success in the twilight of his career. His plan of selecting big money, over the hill legends instead of young legitimate contenders is going to take its toll on Tarver's career. At this point, hes simply in it for the money.

All I know is, I'm not paying for this bullshit. And I won't order it, unless my buddies are willing to chip in to pay for it, which they likely will.

Tarver by late TKO.

Tarver has been hurt in only one fight that I have seen and that was against Eric Harding the first time around (Harding broke his jaw and knocked him down). Other than that, I'm dying to know how a fucking middleweight who doesn't even KO middleweights is gonna KO the Light Heavyweight King. shhhhh!!! we can dream cant we?

Tarver is gonna whip is 41 year old crying ass all over that ring. Tarver kills another legend, maybe by KO. Not sure yet, but Hopkins is fucking dead.

Tarver will easily win as long as he is in shape after his brief movie star HW role. :rolleyes:

Its like this...... B_HOP and Tarver will box a great fight up until say the 9th round.......Tarver will win the 8th the 9th will be close Hop will win the 10th and mark my words(HOPEFULLY)pull a ODLH TITO and TKO Tarver with a vicious combo or body shot! Hahaha Bernard KOing the puncher? Not at all. He is gonna run and box. But Tarver will win.

I'm hoping Bernard will win.

I wish it was on HBO

Tarver wins a boring fight that no one should pay for, but many sadly will.

i really don't like tarver, but i see him getting a lackluster UD over an old hopkins just because of bernard's lack of a workrate.

i really hope nard wins this fight, he seems to be training very hard for it and i would love to see him beat that turd tarvers ass and retire with lhw titles. Yeah I hope he cracks his little alien head!!

I think Tarver wins and proves absolutely nothing. When is Tarver going to fight someone that isn't past their prime?!?!

Really? (message to short) Yeah he stoped boxing for a while. hes looks like hes on drugs.

Really? (message to short) yes he did thats why it took him so long to turn pro

Hopefully Tarver will retire the boring,aging Hopkins once and for all....

I think Hop will win hes all around beter then Tarver. Tarver is a crackhead. He used to smoke crack.
