    It's not worth risking losing 3 straight fights...

      I'd rather face the best and have a couple losses then fight mediocre-good opponents and have a perfect record. I totally respect Hopkins for taking on a young, hungry Taylor when he could of taken on the Joppys' of this world and exited with a couple wins.

        your priorities are out of wack. Me, I'd ALWAYS take the risk to bring me glory. Let me give you a quick example: why would ANY fighter on the ****ing planet duck Mayweather? If you win, you knock off the best guy in the sport! REWARD overpowers risk

          Ask Hatton about ducking Floyd or Freitas or Casamayor...

          Tarver will NOT make or break Hopkin's legacy. Retiring with a win is the way to end his career. And a solid win too versus possibly getting KTFO by a bum named Tarver.

                lol.

                Are you implying Tarver and Johnson are better fighters than Roy Jones Jr?

                  In the rematch, Tarver landed that one punch after not even having a pulse in the first round.

                  Tarver lost the first fight... whined and then got a rematch.

                  Third fight, Tarver beat a scared Roy.

                  What good attributes does Tarver have as a boxer? Not many... what good attributes does an Old Jones have as a boxer... MANY MANY more than Tarver.

                  Johnson gave a great synopsis of himself, "I might not be the best but I want to fight the best."

                      Sturm

                      Bad matchup for The Executioner stylewise.
                      Hopkins is much the better fighter, but Sturm can make him look bad and perhaps steal the fight on points.
                      Felixs' strength is drawing the other boxer into a lead, and then countering and angling off on him.
                      That is a portion of Hopkins' style as well, and he is the best at it.
                      I don't think this would be a good fight for us fans, really.
                      It may turn out to be a great fight, who knows?
