Do anyone really think that Tarver has a chance against Bhop in a rematch.

    If so tell us why. I think tarver is done, and will only be able to best B- class fighters at best. I think he is talking silly by asking for the Bhop rematch.

    A rematch bewtween them will be competetive.NO WAY will the fight be as lopsided as the first one.Hopkins is not that good anymore,he beat pascal because pascal is not that active, as far as throwing punches.Tarver's jab and straight left will land.Hopkins may lose speed in moving up to crusier as well.Don't be surprised if tarver wins.

    Tarver was'nt himself for the first fight, came way down in weight. He is way better fo a boxer and technition than Pascsl. Still younger than Hopkins ,therefor has a chance. hopkins does not like to be pushed, likes to set the rythm ! Tarver seems motivated again! Wants to prove somethiing ! ! give him the edge at Cruiserweight !

    Hopkins would probably TKO Tarver and that's saying a lot. I mean FFS since when does a victory of Danny Green make you special :patsch

    Fighting at the cruiserweight limit, I take Tarver over Hops. There are a lot of things Tarver can do better than last time out.

    I don't think Tarver looks as good against someone with a good defense. See the two Dawson bouts.

    Green obviously could do nothing with Tarver, whereas Dawson had little trouble handling Tarver twice.

    At LHW I take Hopkins. At higher weights, I may lean toward Tarver. Don't know how an older Hopkins will perform with up to 20 pounds or more extra weight. Tarver obviously con handle the extra weight.

    Hopkins would beat his ass again. Tarver loss to Dawson twice but he's gonna magically beat Hopkins now when he's not even as good as he use to be and Hopkins dominated a much younger Tarver. There was nothing wrong with Tarver in that fight, it was Hopkins that made him look lethargic.

    When you beat a legend, you become a legend.

    This. I feel like Tarver is taking the Zab Judah route. Claiming he is back on his game by beating a few low class contenders.

    Hopkins hasnt scored a KO in almost a decade. How the hell is he gonna stop a sound defensive Tarver when he couldnt even stop a shot to bits RJJ? I think it would be a close tactical snoozer with Hops getting the nod. But it wouldnr surprise me if Tarver took it cause hes always better in rematches.

    Hop wouldn't knock him out but would bust him up and give him a good whoopin, to put it as Floyd sr. would.

    I dont think so. Tarvers not green like Pascal, hops would fight him like he fought Jones and Ornelas cause he respects the cageyness of his fellow veterans and knows he will pay if he overcommits or takes unecesary chances. He would play chess with Tarver. Tarver is mentally tough unlike Pascal and Pavlik who he was able to mindf@ck
