Cotto has got the power, but Paulie really is a slick defensive and quick fighter. Yall will see that he's not the bum most people claim he is. I've got Paulie by split decision.


Cotto by KO.

Tarver by SD.
No sir, I've got Tarver KOing Hopkins in the middle rounds. I think that this fight really isn't that hard to pick, the only wild card is Tarver's stamina. If he gasses out in the later rounds like he did with RJJ, he's in big trouble. In fact, I'm sure Hopkins is planning on making in a long night and then turning it up at the end. Unfortunately, Tarver is gonna work hard and catch Hopkins early on.
No way in hell Tarver KO's HOpkins. Not possible. Tarver will (by his own admission) pour it on strong for the first half of the fight. Hopkins waits & then get's him good...but Tarver wiill still win by SD.

Paulie causes Cotto problems with his runnign bullshat...but that's it.
Tarver is no Trinidad or De La Hoya. Tarver is almost a freaking heavyweight and he packs one mean a** punch. If Hopkins gets caught, I guarantee that he's going nite nite. After Tarver KOs Hopkins, people are gonna say "Well, Hopkins was old as hell, he should have never been in the ring with Tarver anyway" and Tarver still won't have his respect. After Hopkins there really aren't any big ($$$) fights left, but knowing Tarver he'll find a way to bring Holyfield vs Tarver to our PPV screens in January.
What do you mean, if Tarver gasses out in the later rounds "Like he did with RJJ".... Don't you mean, "Like he does and has any time he has been in the championship rounds with any fighter who is championship materiel"... Tarver always gasses out, against RJJ in the first and 3rd(go figure....). Against Johnson both fights. Against Eric Harding badly, and he ended up losing too.. BS Tarver is almost a HW who packs one mean punch... Glen Johnson is a journeyman SMW, who was dominated and stopped by Bhop.. he moved up to light heavy and beat Tarver, never close to being KOed in either fight.OLD Reggie Johnson gave Tarver a good fight dropping him to lose a SD.. None of those guys are natural light heavys except maybe Harding.. He's the only one Tarver has fought who was comfortably a 175lber. I just don't buy this junk, Bhop is much better then Glen Johnson and he will win.
