There's no Tarver fans on here to defend that performance I guess. But yur correct he had to go up to two divisions to play as a heavyweight in that Rocky movie. Hopkins still would've won he just was so focus to win a title match that a fighter he liked(Robinson) couldn't do when he fought Maxim because of being exhausted from the heat. But I think Tarver would've performed better had he not token part in that movie. Also, no one talks about the two great fights he had with Glen Johnson. Tarver was a very good fighter in his days.
