Bernard Hopkins/ Antonio Tarver, and weight
Who does everybody think will be effected more by weight.
Since Hopkins weights in at 169 on fight night often, I think he'll be pretty good at this weight. Antonio Tarver says he walks around over 200 regularly before fights, so I'm not sure if it will effect him at all.

I think Tarver will weigh around yeah 200 on fight night
Re: Bernard Hopkins/ Antonio Tarver, and weight
Do you think that adding 25 pounds after weigh in will be tough for Tarver?
Re: Bernard Hopkins/ Antonio Tarver, and weight
No problem for Tarver, the one I'm concernedabout is Bernard. He has been middleweight for so long and moving up 2 weight classes may cause him problems. He may end up looking like Oscar when he first fought at middleweight.
Re: Bernard Hopkins/ Antonio Tarver, and weight
I think the weight loss will affect Tarver. He just weighed well over 200 for the Rocky movie. Roy was affected by coming back down, and he trained harder than Tarver. BHOP can make 175 without any problems. Can BHOP, weighing 175, do damage against a guy who will probably weigh close to 200?
