Why not look at the accuracy with which Hopkins placed his punches, and how much he made Tarver miss. It was a masterpiece of a performance and for anyone to downgrade that really needs to quit the Haterade.
accuracy? 32% and 37% for power punches....he misses two out of three times....

Hopkins moves in and out to keep the man away from him, score his points and make the other man work whilst not actually allowing him to be able to hit him.
