    Tarver's a tough dud with a good ring IQ. I don't think he gets stopped, at best. But, best for best, Conteh takes a clear one. Tarver wouldn't be able to land a single still, flush, and probably guess the wrong Rocky a few times, but Conteh's guess ratio will be extremely accurate. :blood

    10-5 or 9-6 is how I see it. I would give Tarver a chance though to draw or win a split decsion. The more boring the fight, the better Tarver's chances. I'm not sure how much Conteh would land due to Tarver's stance, tactics or height, but I do think he was better over all.

    Conteh was a level above Tarver. Conteh was a very good ,but not great fighter, who would also have spanked Hopkins at 175lbs.imo.

    A peak,injury free,Conteh would beat any 175 lb King who was n't one of the all time elite. John would be too busy for Tarver.

    It wouldn't work out at all for Hopkins against Conteh.
