I certainly think he needs to get back in shape and redeem himself after that performance. He still has plenty to offer.

remind me to CC you for that one when the karma wears off lol! i agree tho give credit coz hopkins did fight brilliantly, but tarver looked total cack in there and cand o alot better.

Tarver is the King of Call outs and Charisma, If Tarver wants it, It will happen.

I dont think so.
If hopkins is coming back, its not to pussyfoot around with rematches against guys who he had 1 sided victories over. if he comes back its for the NEW. Its for the things he hasn't done, or things everyone wants him to do. I could see a heavyweight bout with a belt holder, i could see him spank the hell outta calzaghe. I cannot see him rematch tarver and add nothing to his career, He isnt back for the rankings, he's back for belts and super money.

Risk vs reward

Nard should definatley go for the big 1 with Maskaev . It makes perfect sense . Although personally i'd love to see him against Calzaghe , if I were his adviser I wouldnt recommend it .Oleg would be his best shot at ever winning aheavyweight title . He'd get less dollars against Joe and IMO less chance of winning it . The pace would be far slower up against Oleg and he's see the punchesd coming . He'd have to drop his weight to fight Joe and teh pace would be furious for a 40+ guy to maintain .
