    How much should Bernard Hopkins weigh for his fight vs. Tarver?

    I know that he weighed in at 157 for trinidad so that he could move around more and go the full 12 rounds.

    I think he should probably be at 170 because he does not look like a 175 pounder at all. He would need to still be light on his feet so he can box and move around till the later rounds where he will be able to hit Tarver more frequently without being hit

            The Taylor fights were close and Taylor. Any way styles make fights and Bhop has a shot.

              168/172 sounds good enought. But remember Tarver is bigger than Hopkins. I mean styles make fights but one punch can change a fight.

                I think he'll come in at 170 maybe 172 at the highest.He'll want to box and move and counterpunch to win a decision he needs to be as light as he can be to do that.

                  Im not sure what weight he should come in at but im thinking he'll come in at 178. I think the added weight may help him. I think he also has the style to beat Tarve based on the fact that Hopkins starts late and is still strong in the later rounds. And in the later rounds is where Tarver usally tires and thats were Hopkins can go i for the kill. Im say Hopkins wins this one, but of course Tarver has the one punch that ko'd Jones that can ko Hopkins. It should be an interesting fight.
