It wasnt that tarver didnt show up..More like that tarver was given nothing to go on..The subtle defensive strategies and lateral movement left tarver following bernard around pawing with his jab like an afraid little girl and continues to get countered and jumped in on with combo's before hopkins then jumps back out of range..

Seriously i cannot make a single case in my mind of how joe could be bernard..

Joe has bad hands..Barely any power.. and bernard has never been stopped...

And when was the last time we saw joe beat a truely great boxer and great defensive counter puncher?

I'd bet on never tbf.. Hopkins would beat him every round and joe who has obv never lost would loose heart half way through as he's never been in that position and he'd eventually stumble and fall under the weight of the executioners axe
