Did you catch "The Executioner" and "The Magic Man" this weekend, exaggerate their clash on June 10 in Atlantic City? It is the "fight to the end" for both, their legacies are in the balance. This battle raises questions for fans: Is it an alarm? Who wants more? More importantly, it should bet?

This was my take on his interview with split-screen television.

Tarver did his usual "Angry Black Man" routine, complaining everything! Her picture is on the wrong side of the cartel, which receives no respect, "said Fried - who gave him scrambled - that never ends. The Dangerfield "I Get No Respect" act is getting old.

Tarver, you get support for blasting Roy 2, but here's a news flash ... That win does not make the greatest of all time. He is the brother of time to decide. You need this.

Hopkins was on the other side of the screen ... Or someone who looked like him. This guy was no life - boring. Has the master "trash talker" has finally been knocked out? Maybe B-Hop is becoming a "Golden Boy". Soon will be carrying a briefcase and the sale of life insurance. Sometimes I think I never wanted to go against the grain, but rather, become a part of it. He earned the recognition and money, but has lost its edge?

Marvin Hagler said it best: "It's hard to get and train when you're sleeping in silk sheets." Where are you "X"? Bring back the leather mask and ax murderers by his side. With two consecutive losses to Jermain Taylor, who needs it.

Well, like you, I have zero interviews. So, I turned to the statistics of an indicator:

Height will Tarver, but only for an inch.

Reach is the same.

KO: Tarver has a margin of 5%

Bernard has had almost twice as many fights.

Both have had 2 losses since 2003

Bernard fought Tarver again in the last three years.

Now, I know bet ... NO! Even its leaves of life are equal. This is not the inadequacy of some would have you believe. They are on equal terms.

Finally, I decided to friends material. Tracked down some of the biggest names in the game: Emmanuel Steward, Oscar Suarez, Tim Smith, Paul Malignaggi, Brian Kenny, and Johnny Bos.

Oscar Suarez: "It will be an interesting fight, but always in favor of southpaw fighter," he said with a smile. "No disrespect to Mr. Hopkins, but still I see a lot of hunger in Mr. Tarver, so I give the slight advantage. "

After my regular dose of Dibella Boxing Broadway, went to my favorite diner and collided with the extraordinary matchmaker Johnny Bos. "First you will see Hopkins, and then you will see Hopkins on the canvas," he said. This made me consider staying in New York on June 10 to Cotto-Malignaggi at the Garden.

Paul Malignaggi: "I think Hopkins has the style to beat Tarver - rough her up. Tarver has problems with guys like that, just watch his fight with Glen Johnson. "

Tim the NY Daily News' Smith: "Tarver is the kind of individual who loses the focus on combat. He does not do what he should do. The type must be a murderer in the ring, but has a tendency to make rounds. "Think Hopkins can make a decision.

ESPN's Brian Kenny: "I think it depends on what kind of shape Tarver Tarver enters How easy back down to 175. I think it will be an interesting fight, boring fight, probably terrible tactician. As for a truck ... I could choose Bernard. "

Trainer and HBO commentator Emmanuel Steward: "I think this fight is a toss-up, perhaps a slight advantage to Bernard Hopkins." Emmanuel made a keen observation on why not to bet on the basis size: "Tarver is a big light heavyweight, has to lose like 210 pounds. But the fact that Tarver is not a physical battle makes it easier for Bernard to enter and remain effective. "

Bernard gets the nod media, 5-1.

Feeling lucky? There is more money for betting Hopkins, and many experts are picking the oppressed. But Tarver is very underrated. Roy Jones did his best to duck him ... for good reason. He is probably the most decorated in the history of amateur boxing. In 1996, he was the only U.S. amateur to win the nationals, the Pan-Am Games and world championships, all in one year.

On June 10, "The Magic Man" Bernard Hopkins retires.
