    Everyone is sick, or poisoned, or weight drained, or suffering from a cold, or is out of shape after they lose to Hopkins. fact is they are ashamed of losing to a man so damn old and have to make excuses to sleep better at night.

Kellerman says how he just interviewed Tarver and how he boasted he was in great shape and didn't have any trouble losing the weight (which he didn't. The weight was fat and not muscle like roy jones)
      Fat loss can still take a toll on you depending on how quickly you lose it. In addition, Tarver's added weight for the Rocky movie was also muscle weight increase. Maybe not as solid as Roy was but it was enough of a combination to do the damage...especially at Tarver's age.

        You think any version of Tarver could have been competitive with Hopkins?

        Could it not have been that Tarvers style was easy to figure out by Hopkins.

          Well if he were weight drained, i find it hard to believe he would of fought 5 more fights at that weight in the next 3 years

          Plus i never heard an excuse like others said.

              Countless fighters have said similar things after fighting Hopkins.

                    Maybe, Maybe not.

                    i personally doubt it. It's not as if we was struggling and eventually got Knocked down due to being unhealthy.

                    He just got plain schooled. End of story.
