    Tarver is just an inch taller at 6'2 to Nard at 6'1.

      True, but he seems so much rangier.

        dont know what to say....if tarver can catch a more elusive and quicker old Jones, what makes people think he cant catch B-Hop?Bernards only chance is to hold on and hope he doesnt get hurt.If anything else happens in this fight I will be very surprised.

          We've never seen them in together though. They also have the exact same reach at 75".

            hard to believe,Hopkins arms are short compared to Tarvers.

              I didn't make it up. It's listed as such for both of them.

                I don't see Hopkins winning this.

                Like bozo said, he'd have to outwork Tarver to win rounds....and if Glen Johnson couldn't do that with his workrate then I don't see Hopkins doing it.

                This is not to completely rule out Hopkins...if anyone could outsmart and outbox Tarver it's him. Jabs touched on a very valid point though...it'd be tough for him to get in and out like he likes to do with a rangy, taller opponent in Tarver.

                I say Tarver takes a decision, but I'd root for Mr. Hopkins the whole way.

                  This fight is going to be disgusting-do not let anyone see this fight that is new to the sport-after viewing 6 rounds of this **** they will never take boxing seriously again.

                  Both guys think they are worth twice as much as they actually are...there will be a reality check when the PPV numbers come in and only ****heads (like myself) end up ordering the fight.

                  Antonio Tarver and Bernard Hopkins need to realize 1 thing...they will never be Roy Jones, as much as I dislike Jones prime for prime neither guy is even remotely, remotely, remotely in his league. (what this has to do with anything is anyones guess)

                  Two ******* who love to pose for $50 bucks...cant ****ng wait!
