People are making hopkins the underdog probably because of how Tarver was able to handle Roy Jones jr. Let's make this one clear, Roy jones jr, in his last fight with Tarver, was coming off 2 losses back to back KO's. Hopkins on the other hand is coming off of two close fights w/ jermain taylor. He stayed active all throughout 2005, fighting 36 rounds and really looking impressive.

Hopkins and Jones jr are two totally different fighters. on June 10th Antonio will have to eat those words, calling himself the "Legend killer", and might have to ask Hopkins for a rematch, because tarver is known for being better in his rematches.
