    Hopkins will win

    Okay going in a bit but want to point out few things

    Hopkins and Tarver are Both 174, and Hopkins has good power at middleweight but he will even have better power at light heavyweight. Tarver cant do what Taylor had done because Taylor is very young and much quicker than Tarver

    If you see the weigh-in picture there is'nt much of a difference between the height of Hopkins and Tarver (you can either make a case of Hopkins head is bigger or Tarvers head is small).. Hopkins looks serious and in shape, I think it will be a technical fight but Bernard wait till the end of 45 seconds and throw a big punch or counter punch like he did in his last two fights with taylor, he will be at him from the start, with great defense as you guys already know, and at point Tarver will get up to him, it will be a competitive fight, which Hopkins will win either by UD or SD, but we wont see a rematch.

    This fight is for Hopkins Legacy, I hope whatever I have said is right, ill bump this thread however If I was wrong about these difference.

    I also think he has a great chance at winning this. Tarver was not able to intiminate him like he wanted/would have liked and Hopkins looks good at 174 and may have surprising power. And a big things is Tarver put a 250k bet that he wold KO Hopkins before thr 5th round which works well for Hopkins because he can counter Tarver real well when Tarver is throwing bombs and getting carried away and/or he could also wait for Tarver to gas out which will be quick, then attack.

    OH..and you gotta love what Hopkins said to Tarver:

    "i knocked Harding out and glen johnson you lost to both of them i knocked harding out in sparring in philadelphia"

      I hope you guys are right, but I think Tarver is going to win this by UD.

      It would be nice to see old Bernard put that ******* on his ass a few times, though. Hey, Harding did it.

                Being correct isn't hard, it's 50/50. The manner in which you're correct is more important. You suggested a competitive fight and it was far from it. It's better to be correct about important aspects of the fight rather than an easy conclusion.

                  Yeah but I still predicted Hopkins will win by UD and we wont have to see a rematch.

                    You stated facts, and as for a rematch, while you're probably right we don't know for sure about that. Hopkins will be stronger in a higher weight class? **** me running, what a prediction!

                    Tarver isn't as young as Taylor? **** me running again, these must be camera tricks.
