    The Hopkins of the Tarver fight vs the Ward of the Kovalev fights.

    What transpires?

    Very tense type of a fight. I don't think it would be fan friendly. There would be a lot of feinting, holding, and wrestling on the inside.

    But I suspect that Ward being younger and more active would carry most of the rounds. Hopkins comes on late to make it close.

    Ward via split decision.

    Agreed. Even if they were the same age Hopkins would win but have his difficulties due to the styles. Being with this matchup Ward is much younger he has to be favored. It's still close though.

    Another ones of those fights that goes the distance 11 out of 10 times barring injuries.

    So you think one guy will come in with white shorts and explosive diaorreah, then the other will slip in it and suffer a catastrophic compound fracture of his leg?
