He stayed active all throughout 2005, fighting 36 rounds and really looking impressive.
I'm making Hopkins the underdog because he's not a legit 175er.

The only way that Hopkins wins this fight is the stamina.

Hopkins fights far too cautiously to take the fight to Tarver...which is exactly what Hops needs to do. He needs to get back to his roots...when he was the Terror instead of the Ex & he needs to put it all on Tarver instead of being the tactician that he has become.

Don't get me wrong...I love tactical boxers...that's why it's called boxing...but there is a time & a place for everything & Hopkins needs to do what he has not done in the past 3-4 years...THROW CAUTION OUT THE GOTDAM WINDOW!

I love the Nard...but it's easy to see the problem.

Hopkins better just beat his a** & retire.
B-HOP started his career as a lt hw....fought a couple at smw then finally reigned at 160 for over a decade.....he chose to do that....now he choses to move back up to lt hw..man does he look tight....B-HOP by KO....
