As a fan of the sport I do not speak off of emotion only logic. So many people talk about how big Tarver's mouth is but Bernards mouth is no smaller. But of them are very arrogant and cocky who cannot stop talking. Hopkins has actually disrespected a small culture of people by throwing their flag on the ground which nearly got him killed. Tarver has succeded in disrespecting legend's such as Roy Jones after his second victory. I don't think you can consider either one of these fighters a people's champ candidate even though Bernard Hopkins is self proclaimed. I am sorry after all of Hopkins antics with threatning Jermain Taylor to say good bye to his family cause he will never see them again and disrespecting Trinidad and his people and threatning one of Joppy's family members at the press conference I would have to say I am drooling to see him get knocked out.
