    what happened on tarver vs hopkins?

    did someone poison tarver before the fight?
    did tarver have problems in training camp and losing weight?
    something about the rocky movie?
    did a 100% tarver get his ass whooped?

    why did anything unusual have to happen to Tarver? Hopkins beat him because he was the better fighter that night.

      Tarver was 100% and never said otherwise. Tarver made no excuses for the loss. Hopkins outboxed him. End of story.

            Tarver weighed over 200 pounds while filming the Rocky Balboa movie. He had to lose over 40 pounds for the Hopkins fight.

                - -Near 250 as I recall.
