Yeah its too bad he had to be the example for the future generations. No one had ever gone up that far only to go back down. Especially not in the same year. Ironically Tarver had his belt taken from him by Bhop, because he tried the same thing except he did it for a film and Roy did it to win a belt.
Tarver called Roy's weight loss an excuse, funny how it worked out for him.
I do not think tarver used it as an excuse, I do know B Hop called him a dead man walking.
That's the thing that fucking pisses me off. (sorry, language, I know...)
Anyone who tries to criticize Hopkins win over Tarver will always use this mythical weight drain angle but surely that angle is null and void if the man himself hadn't used his weight as an excuse?
I mean Tarver couldn't get off simply because Hopkins made a play every time Tarver was set to do something.
Did Tarver
look weight drained. Did he
really have a shit load of muscle to loose? No. It's a load of bs.
did you see tarver in that fight? he had bitch tits. Did you see him in the balboa movie, he looked like a heavyweight. Also Tarver after that fight when being asked by merchant regarding the weight said "No, I don't want to say that. I just don't know why I couldn't get anything going"
even NAZ said "he fooled the public but he didn't fool us" when speaking about his weight.
