    His work rate is often above average because he flurries with a lot of light shots.
    I suppose I should rewatch some Tarver fights because most of what I have in my mind is the fights with Roy Jones and in the 3rd fight he didn't throw much and was gassed. Just had it in my mind that Tarver usually had an average workrate. If he tries to sit and pick his punches and counter Hopkins, he'll lose, I think. If he can keep throwing, even if the punches aren't landing, like Taylor did, he'll most likely win on activity alone.
