Tarver vs Hopkins. Who Wins This One?

I think B-Hop is gonna get inside on Tarver and bust up that long ass body of his, kinda like he did to Joppy's face. Hopkins by UD, not boring if you like bodywork and defense, the Sweet Science. I just got a feeling that way, deep down inside Hopkins wants this one more.

I'll be the first to say Hopkins by Decision. If Glen Johnson can do it, so can BHOP. i think hopkins is too old to have that kind of workrate, he's going to spend alot of time slipping punches and ducking.

im going to say hopkins. tarver cannot take a guy coming at him so i see hopkins being alittle more aggresive than ever. tarver hates to fight. if i was hopkins i would go at him. you saw in all the RJJ fights tarver did not want to mix it up with RJJ. tarver is a guy that will wait back and counter. but if you are giving him alot of heat he will not counter he will cover up and hide. hopkinds in a 115-113.

in a bold prediction, i say Hopkins outclasses the naturally bigger Tarver and wins by decision Very bold prediction! But I go for Tarver by KO. Mayby wishful thinking I guess :boxing:

Tarver said he'll KO Hopkins in 5 rounds. I heard him say it but doubt that.Then again I doubted he would KO Roy in one punch too.I really think he ends up stopping Hopkins sometime in this fight tho.he is stronger and bigger than anyone Hopkins has ever been in with and at 41 I would not recommend taking the toughest fight of your career.......But thats Hopkins for you and true badass.

Hopkins is boring. He waits 6 rounds before he starts punching, but even then, he only throws 10 punches a round. Pathetic.

I expect Tarver to win this one, but I sure hope against hope that they TRY to knock each other out and not win some dull decision. WHENS THE LAST TIME YOU ACTUALLY SAW REAL ACTION IN A HOPKINS FIGHT? EXACTLY THIS IS GOING TO BE A BOREFEST ALL THE WAY. BOTH ARE GREAT COUNTER PUNCHERS AND DONT MOVE FOWARD TO OFTEN SO IT JUST SPELLS BORING.

This a hard one 2 call my Heart says HOPKINS luv 2 see him beat Tarver, But my Head says Tarver will beat him, I believe them 2 bouts with Taylor have really hurt Hopkins and the legend needs to finally leave the game after this fight win or lose. After Tarver beats Hopkins whats the odds on him calling him the "greatest" lol, "beat 2 legends on the way down from greatness". Hope we have a Tarver Vs Calzaghe fight at the end off the year, then we can put Tarver 2 rest 4 gud, luv 2 see Calzaghe mess Tarvers funny lookin face up,

Tarver whoops his old ass from pillar to post for 12 rounds. I'd love to see Tarver knock his crybaby ass out but it's highly unlikely. I've actually seen Hopkins get hit before so I know his chin is good. Roy, on the other hand, I saw that KO coming from a mile away. Tarver is like my personal cleanup man. I'd love to see him get Tyson after Hopkins.

I know it's not that exciting of a fight, but Tarver is pissed. Last time I saw him mad, he KOed Roy Jones Jr. Pls vote and discuss. boring fight I think but I hope to see B-Hop pull out a victory as much as I think his age is going to effect him against the more fresh Tarver.

I take Tarver by decision. Tarver has power, but I don't see him KOing one of the sports' best defensive fighter of this era. If he does, I'll give him alot of credit and also call him a legend killer.

Hopkins decision by far the most boring fight ever on paper.

I'll be the first to say Hopkins by Decision. If Glen Johnson can do it, so can BHOP.

I care a little bit. LOL Tarver is still the man and he has been dominating. A win against Hop could lead to fights against Calzaghe, Lacy etc. Not that I'm buying this PPV. Tarver-Calzaghe would be a gem; but I think Antonio would whup Lacy, given the edge in boxing knoweldge he possesses.

boring ass fight, but i say tarver

Hopkins is in over his head this one. Seeing the two of them beside each other in a press conference you can see that Tarver is so alot bigger than Bernard. Maybe a younger Bernard has a chance but he's not the executioner he once was , his still crafty enough to last the distance so I'm saying Tarver by Unanimous Decision. :boxing: :boxing:

Bottom line is...."Who really cares?" But, if you have to pick a winner, I'm going with Tarver by boring ass decision. I care a little bit. LOL Tarver is still the man and he has been dominating. A win against Hop could lead to fights against Calzaghe, Lacy etc. Not that I'm buying this PPV.
