No one said Tarver was a bum, but he is not A-List like he considers himself. He is now and forever a B-List fighter at best.

Bhops will always be a bad style match up against anybody. Tarver is not that bad, Bhops simply made him look bad.

Correct-amundo. People seldomly look good against Hops because of his fighting style and ability to impliment a game plan in the ring. That's half the reason I want to see Taylor vs Winky so much. I want to see what Taylor can do against an opponent who is still defense minded but not quite the counterpuncher Hop is. But I digress.

hopkins took a deadly trinidad and made him look like a toy

How come whenever somebody loses the "fans" rate him as a b-grade boxer?
Lacy all of a sudden is only considered an unskilled puncher, Tarver is a never has been ... Both these guys I mentioned are world-class fighters. It's only that there always is someone who is just better.

Exactly! That's what I'm saying. Tarver is not bad, Bhops simply made him look bad.

People doesn't have to resort to ridiculing and degrading the losers. Somebody will always have somebody's number and beat them in that ring.

Hopkins is just a different breed. The way he beat Tarver last night was insane. Nobody predicted that other than JuicyJuice. I didn't consider it an upset that Hopkins won, but the way he won was out of this world. I think Tarver spent his months before the fight fighting the scales instead of training to fight the opponent. Not saying he would have won, but he looked like **** last night.

I have to agree that Bops really made a number on Tarver. But I'll attribute that to Bhops sleekness and smartness not to Tarver's suppose to be un preparedness.
