Joe DeGuardia Hopkins Quotations

Antonio Tarver and Bernard Hopkins are two great champions who have enjoyed tremendous success. Both of them will be putting it all on the line in this highly anticipated fight. Fans will see them both fighting with the intense fire that only a fight like this can inspire.

You won't hear any excuses from Antonio about having to lose the weight like Roy did. Antonio is a professional and he knows what he has to do. He will be on the mark. He's going to have to work to get down but it is not anything that he is unaccustomed to. When we were talking about making this fight I said to him, 'Are you sure you want to work this hard and come down to 175?' and he said he wants the biggest out there and that Hopkins was the biggest one out there.
