Hopkins will win this fight hands down. Trust me, I can break it down.

Hopkins condtioning is way better than Tarvers. The reason I know this is because if you look at Tarvers last few fights, toward the end of the fight he gasses out completley. He did it against Johnson twice and against Roy Jones jr. in their 3rd match.

Hopkins has never been knocked down in over 12 years. He has only been Knocked down once, but got right back up. Trust me, he can take a good punch. Also, the fact that Hopkins is one fighter who always sticks to the gameplan. Never abandons it, to make himself a crowd pleaser.

People are going to overlook hopkins because he will be the smaller man, but look at all hopkins fights, he always comes in shape. Jermain talyor really had to bring his A game against hopkins and still couldn't even put a beating on b-Hop. Taylor even admitted that hopkins is too cleaver and well schooled as a boxer to get caught with a Lucky punch.

The man is 41 years old and fighting at the same caliber as these other young fighters...That is impressive wheter or not anyone cares to acknowledge it.

This is a fact...Tarver will have a very hard time making weight to weigh 175lbs. He put on alot of weight to film the Rocky VI movie. More than he has ever put on since boxing. It is much easier to come up in weight than it is to go down. If hopkins weighs in at about 170 to 173lbs, he has this fight Won. He always does his best against Southpaw fighters so this will be a big test for Tarver. Hopkins might no get the Knockout Tarver, but I can guarantee you...if Tarver gasses like he normally does towards the last few rounds, Hopkins will pick him apart.

Tarver is such a fool to put up a bet for $250,000.00 that he will Knock hopkins out in less than six rounds. That means he will have to go out there and basically brawl and pray he can land a good shot to take hopkins out. One of the defensive fighters in this era of boxing. When Tarver starts breathing hard, he will then find out what Bernard hopkins is all about.. Hopkins all the way. The most disciplined fighter in boxing today, he's gonna do it his way just like he has always done in the past.
