I think Hopkins has a chance. I don't think that Tarver is really that good cause a loser like Glencoffe Johnson beat him and had good matches with him. Tarver is a **** talker cause he beat a way past his prime Roy Jones Jr. Tarver is never conditioned in his usual fights let alone if he has to drop like 30lbs. I think Roy Jones got knocked out in his 2nd fight with Tarver cause he had to lose too much weight. But I think Hopkins is getting old. I do think that Taylor beat him in both fights(1st one was close but not the 2nd). Hopkins can take a punch and he has a good lead right hand which is good against a southpaw. He is the dirtiest fighter since Evander Holyfield which is a plus kinda. I think Jones vs. Hopkins#2 at 160 or 168 would have been a better fight.

Hopkins was talking quite a bit about Robinson's quest to fight Maxim and how that really motivates him in this case. I know he'll be hungry, but his age is a big stumbling block here.
Tarver's gonna whoop that senile bastard into retirement. Another notch in the Magic Man's belt, and more bitterness to flood the boards. haha, I love it.
hopkins just wants to beat tarver so he can send roy jones e-mails everyday that say " tarver beat you two times and i beat tarver so therefore, me> tarver> roy jones. lol"

Jones & Hopkins will be forever linked, & compared.
If Hopkins does beat Tarver...he will have taken a huge step towards surpassing Roy.
This could be a fight devoid of real action. I'd be curious to see it, but certainly not excited by it.
yeah, right. This fight is going to suck balls, and I really doubt there will be an entertaining moment. I'd have to say the most entertaining thing would be an actual chance for Nard to rob Tarver via SD. I don't think that will happen though, and More than likely Tarver gives him trouble.
