      Yea you are right, it will be more of a hesitant chess match than anything else.

      Tarver is active, but he throws a lot of pitty pat punches, and tries to mix in a hard shot every now and then.

      It may get interesting late in the fight, but it's hard to say.

        Winky v. Taylor is more significant for the sport right now and they are both a push in terms of which will create more excitement.

        I will go out on a lim and say that both fights will exceed our expectations in terms of excitement and action.

        Finally a couple of fights that on paper are snooze fests but turn out to be damn good fights as opposed to the other way around...I like it.

I just have a feeling that Hopkins is gonna go out there and leave everything he has left in the ring, if you see the countdown Hopkins' trainer is talking about working in fatigued conditions or something like that, I'm hoping he leaves the ring giving it everything he has, but I could be wrong. What do you think and why???
          come on dude...Bhop & tarver....lol

            Now these fights regardless of their importants are not gonna be very entertaining for the average person, they both have the potential of being boring as fu$#, but i dont think that the Taylor/Wright Fight will be that much more entertaining the Hopkins fight, and for whatever reason(I know i'm probably the only one) i think that the Hopkins/Tarver fight will be suprising.

                Wow, both fights mean so much to all four fighters. Taylor wants to stay undefeated, Wright wants recognition as one of the best p4p, Tarver wants respect, and Hopkins wants to do what Ray Robinson could not. Even if these fights appear boring, with the legacies of the fighters on the line, I don't see how they could be. Expect 100% efforts from all four guys, which SHOULD translate into 2 really good fights. I'd say Taylor-Wright is more important for the future of boxing, but Tarver-Hopkins will be a better fight in terms of physicality.

                    i don't know what's going on ferocity, but i'm actually going to agree with you on this.
