Tarver vs Hopkins. Who Wins This One?

[Manny_P]

I take Tarver by decision. Tarver has power, but I don't see him KOing one of the sports' best defensive fighter of this era. If he does, I'll give him alot of credit and also call him a legend killer.

I know it's not that exciting of a fight, but Tarver is pissed. Last time I saw him mad, he KOed Roy Jones Jr.

Pls vote and discuss.

boring fight I think but I hope to see B-Hop pull out a victory as much as I think his age is going to effect him against the more fresh Tarver.

Tarver whoops his old ass from pillar to post for 12 rounds. I'd love to see Tarver knock his crybaby ass out but it's highly unlikely. I've actually seen Hopkins get hit before so I know his chin is good. Roy, on the other hand, I saw that KO coming from a mile away. Tarver is like my personal cleanup man. I'd love to see him get Tyson after Hopkins.

This a hard one 2 call my Heart says HOPKINS luv 2 see him beat Tarver,
But my Head says Tarver will beat him,
I believe them 2 bouts with Taylor have really hurt Hopkins and the legend needs to finally leave the game after this fight win or lose.

After Tarver beats Hopkins whats the odds on him calling him the "greatest" lol, "beat 2 legends on the way down from greatness".

Hope we have a Tarver Vs Calzaghe fight at the end off the year, then we can put Tarver 2 rest 4 gud, luv 2 see Calzaghe mess Tarvers funny lookin face up,

I expect Tarver to win this one, but I sure hope against hope that they TRY to knock each other out and not win some dull decision.

WHENS THE LAST TIME YOU ACTUALLY SAW REAL ACTION IN A HOPKINS FIGHT? EXACTLY THIS IS GOING TO BE A BOREFEST ALL THE WAY. BOTH ARE GREAT COUNTER PUNCHERS AND DONT MOVE FOWARD TO OFTEN SO IT JUST SPELLS BORING.

[Manny_P]

Hopkins is boring. He waits 6 rounds before he starts punching, but even then, he only throws 10 punches a round. Pathetic.

[RAESAAD]

Tarver said he'll KO Hopkins in 5 rounds.

I heard him say it but doubt that.Then again I doubted he would KO Roy in one punch too.I really think he ends up stopping Hopkins sometime in this fight tho.he is stronger and bigger than anyone Hopkins has ever been in with and at 41 I would not recommend taking the toughest fight of your career.......But thats Hopkins for you and true badass.

in a bold prediction, i say Hopkins outclasses the naturally bigger Tarver and wins by decision

Very bold prediction! But I go for Tarver by KO. Mayby wishful thinking I guess
