People forget that Tarver was already way slower than he was in his first fight with Jones, and he had just lost alot of weight to fight Hopkins... I still say that a younger Tarver would beat the HOpkins who beat him that night, and that Hopkins who doesn't have amazingly fast footwork would get worked into a corner and be pounded by any decent heavyweight.
