I put Tarver on the left hand side, so he doesnt send me bad karma and malicious pm's like he did to Jim Lampley :)
Considering that Tarver had to drop weight after filming Rocky 6, and Hopkins got to bulk up, I'm going to go with
Hopkins W12 Tarver

FightNight32- Tarver was real respectful in his post-intervew, giving all credit to Hopkins..
I didn't see this fight. Does anybody have a clip of the post-fight interviews? I really want to hear what Tarver had to say after his loss to Hopkins.
By the way, contrary to this poll, Tarver will win
say what? i must be seeing things cause i could have sworn hopkins beat the shit out of tarver and made him want to quit....
tarver: "my eye is cut"
buddy : "no it isn't cut, come on baby!"
HAHA tarver got his ass handed to him by the smaller man, who acually looked like the bigger man. hopkins had an amazing night and made history, now tarver can go back to his crack pipe.
LOL Yeah didn't he die parachuting in Alaska? That's what they said on HBO's Legendary Nights. R.I.P. Fan Man. :(
He actually committed suicide I'm pretty sure
By the way, contrary to this poll, Tarver will win
And as we all know, the fan man, is dead......

B Hop runs all fight and finally get hit with a monster of a shot....down goes hopkins...1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and the fight is over....Winner by KO in 1 of the 12 rounds..A. Tarver...
LOL Yeah Fuckin' right. I'd bet on th Fan Man flying into the ring before I bet on that.
Antonio Tarver is a great boxer, noone can deny that fact. However, Bernard Hopkins is fully capable of defeating Tarver. I saw nothing in Hopkins last two fights that would suggest that he is on the decline and you can bet your bottom dollar Hopkins will bring his A game come Saturday night. Antonio Tarver is a very talented boxer with a lot of skill and potential but his big mouth and arrogance will hurt him.
Hopkins by unanimous decision.
I think this whole weight deal is going to have a similar effect on Tarver as it did on RJJ. I heard Tarver had to move up to about 200 pounds to film Rocky 6, now he's gotta come down to 175. That cannot be a good thing. What matters, I think, is how Hopkins body handles the extra 15 pounds, if it makes him stronger and fresher, he's going to beat the shit out of Tarver.
you are correct if that actually happens with hopkins but at the same time, his going up to face a true LHW leaves him no room to take any shots from traver....
I think Tarver-Hopkins is going to be the most entertaining and exciting fight of the year. Tarver is gonna come out swinging to get that early knockout that he promised and Hopkins is gonna start sooner than he did against Taylor to avoid a repeat of what happened in his last 2 fights plus it's Hopkins last fight and probably wants to go out with a bang.
