I feel really bad for Tarver

[Left2body]

What??? dude come on Hopkins is a counterpuncher and Tarver swings like a wreckless animal with very little skill.I guarantee hopkins picks his shots wisely and i wouldnt be surpirsed if he busted up Tarvers face in the same fashion he did Joppy.....I would bet that Hopkins wins 10 of the 12 rounds.

You need to watch a Tarver fight he is a counter puncher. I'm not really a fan of either fighter but I believe Tarver will win. Tarver does tend to tire out a bit in the later rounds but BHop wont pressure him enough to take advantage and the pace of the fight would benefit Tarver.

It will be an interesting fight, but not very active. If ya'll see how Hops been fighting lately, he'll give away the first few to tire his opponent out then take him out from the 4th or 5th onward(he tried against Taylor but applied the strategy too late in the fight). Now because both these guys are counter puncher's, there's going to be a lot of waiting for the other guy going on. But all in all, I think I'll throw some cash down on Hops by decision against Tarver(the Magicman still ain't ready in my book). Now Can U Dig Dat!!!!!

[AintGottaClue]

you don't really beleive that. Tarver has only been down once in his career and never KO'd so why do u think an old smaller Bhop can do it?

B-hop was the only one to stop glen johnson as well, tarver couldnt do that and he had 2 times to fight him , dont underestimate B-hop he'll get ya

this being Hopkins last fight he doesnt really have a bright future.But Tarver on the other hand still thinks he has pound for pound greatness ahead in the future.So after Hopkins wins this fight he can go into his retirement as the greatest Middleweight of all time and enjoy the fruits of his labor while Tarver has to go a whole nother path.......and Tarver will lose trust me.

I`m a big Hopkins fan and I hope he can do it. It would really cement his legacy. But he isn`t the greatest middleweight of all time. Top 4 or 5 maybe but #1 has to be Sugar Ray Robinson.

all i can say i hope you are right i really like hopkins but at this stage of his career can he go against one of the best light heavyweights in the world

[ROSEWOOD]

u forgot and left out one other achievement . if b- hop wins , he'll be 1 out of only 3 boxers in history to have held a middleweight title and a light heavyweight title. the others being roy jones jr and somebody else who i cant remember.
nonetheless , whoever wins deserves it.....

thats because he has only had like 27 fights and he's 37 years old! I mean who really did he fight if his first 16 matches were against bums so that only leaves him with 11 fights that were actually contenders. 3 against jones lost 1 won 2 (1 lucky punch, and one washed up/gun shy jones) 2 fights against glencoff johnson where he couldnt handle the pressure in the first fight and lossed and was able to show what skills he has in the second fight with a win. He got spanked against Eric Harding in their first fight and came back to win in the 2nd and that leaves what.....fights against Griffin, Johnson and Johnson I mean who the hell is Reggie Johnson and Chris Johnson?? So Tarver really only had faced 3 opponents maybe 4 worth mentioning. I predict a loss the first time by Tarver considering he has lost the first match against all people that had skill then he corrected himself and came back to win after that, he cant do that with Hopkins it will be the end of his already pathetic career losing to a 42 year old.
