Hopkins pokes fun at 'Hollywood' Tarver
DHB (June 9, 2006)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bernard Hopkins
Bernard Hopkins who faces Antonio Tarver tomorrow on HBO-PPV, feels Tarver's role in the upcoming Rocky 6 Movie, has taken the steam out of Tarver.

Poking fun at Tarver, Hopkins took one more chance to take a swipe at Tarver. As quoted by the media today, Hopkins said: "I'm the better fighter. I'm more determined. And I didn't do any movies in the last 20 years."

Hopkins added: "There's something about Hollywood in the mental soul. Once you go Hollywood, you never can go back. Mentally, you're Hollywood. Mentally, you're in a different state. Boxing is a poor man's and a hungry man's sport. If you're eating cheeseburgers and you go to steak or lobster, the cheeseburgers don't taste that good anymore."

I like Hopkins over Tarver by late round KO
