Tarver vs Hopkins June 10th
- Thread starter CRAZY SILENT
- Start date
man,ive been boxing 4 a koo minute,race aint got nuthin to do with tha sport(even thoe my ass alwayz roots 4 tha mexikans)yea i think i fucked up.but hopkins still gots it and tarver iz overrated,im goin 4 hopkins but lets see if tha niggaz age catches up to him in this fight.o by tha way tarver got a good reach on him and he could box and slug so will see when this gunna happend.but in my opinion tarver iz ovverated.
he fought a washed up rjjr, fought a decent fighter in johnson, now a true middleweight who is by far not a light heavy and far away from his best(i still support b-hop).. i wouldnt call that great.. then again he doesnt fight ppl like calzaghe, kessler and a few others.. shit even lacy would smash on tarver.. ur right bout the money fights tho but certainly not the best competition
tarver might take this one by k.o but i'm rootin for the underdog hopkins even though i don't really like that dude either but tarver was crying bout what side his picture was on during a interview what a bitch and hopkins said "it doesn't matter to me what side i'm on that doesn't concern me" if hopkins fights a very defensive fight he might take a decision but if tarver connects goodnight
the first time they fought each other jones was no longer the same fighter..great reflexes and speed which he counted on the most in his career were no longer there.. holyfield was a good example of a declining champ.. btw jones never really lost a fight before jones-tarver 2.. his first official loss was a dq even tho the fight was close but jones would have finished him off.. he sure as hell did that few months later..yet hes not able to repeat that shit anymore.. fool is past it since 2003.. im not tryin to prove anythin except that tarver is somewhat overrated
this is what im talkin bout LOL
Antonio Tarver respects De La Hoya and Mayweather Jr. as fighters, but questions the level of opposition they have faced, calling them B-Level.
Kevin Van Brimmer of the TCPalm quotes Tarver as saying: "Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya are great fighters, but I feel I'm the best fighter today. There's no fighter out there doing the things I'm doing, knocking out legends. These guys are going the distance with 'B' level fighters, fighting life and death with 'B' fighters. I make it look easy and (critics) want to call it boring."

The only thing that makes me doubt hopkins is his drive during the fight with JT. He was being hesitant and wasn't doing anything to take the fight convincingly meanwhile JT was trying to push the action hard. I know B-Hops a counter-puncher but he's shown less activity as of late. Hope we see a good fight tho.
Yeah, I know what you mean..
I've seen some fights like that in the past and the one who didn't have the strive to make the fight worth it,ends up winning with that luck punch to the side of the body. I hope Hopkins bring on a good fight and not one of them fights that keeps holding each other for rest.

i love hopkins great champ, great defense and counter puncher but im not so sure about this fight with tarver.. im damn sure that tarver wont be able to hurt b-hop cause he still possesses that great defense.. however tarver is a natural light heavy and hopkins aint.. i wonder if that shit will matter the most.. as much as i hate to say it..i predict tarver by ud
YEAH IT GOT CANCELLED LAST SATURDAY BECAUSE CASTILLO COULDN'T MAKE WEIGHT.
