First of all, bernard was a little too old for Jermain, and therefore Jermain BARELY beat him both times. I thought Hopkins won the first fight but drew with Taylor the second time. What kind of 40 year old can keep up with a youngn and still hold his own. If hopkins was 37 he would have knocked out Taylor in the first fight. NO DOUBT!
NOw, Tarver isn't really the jumpy hypher kid Taylor was and he himself is like 38 years old. Tarver doesn't COME at you and that is good for Hopkins. Tarver also gets lazy sometimes, which is ALSO GOOD for Hopkins. I see the fight being dominated by Hopkins coutnerpunching and ring generalship. No matter what, Hopkins is still one of the best middleweights ever, and will end his career happily with a UD or possibly KO of Tarver.
