Did Hopkins lift weights to beat Tarver?

[Mr. Violence]

Does anyone know if Hopkins used any weight training to move up to light heavy to beat tarver?

If he got up into another weight class, chances are, he did use weights.

i would of thought he would of done some weights to gain the extra muscle.

I don't know if he used weights but I know he used resistance bands. Mackie Shilstone helped him put the weight on for the Tarver fight and Mackie helped Roy Jones Jr. The DVD Roy Jones Jr. Heart Of a Champion includes a whole sample Mackie Shilstone workout. Worth a purchase.
