I know this has been brought up before but who really thinks Hopkins has and edge on Taylor? I personally think Taylor is to smart to fall into the mind games bull**** and has all the tools to beat Hopkins. And Hopkins seems to be over looking Taylor a bit,your thoughts?

I really like Taylor and think he has the skills to beat Hopkins. Hopkins knows Taylor will be tough regardless of what he says and I know he'll come at his best possible.... because if not hes going to get KTFO. I think Taylor will beat B-Hop and while Taylor is a class act and in my opinion great for boxing, the general public will say Hopkins just cuz they Don't have a clue who Taylor is....

i heard several months ago hopkins say something to the effect " its hard to get up at five in the morning to jogg five miles when your wearing a rolex". i know taylor isnt proven but man, he's bigger,younger,faster and he listens to his corner. i honestly think he's going to have an easier time then most think against an old content great hopkins. hopkins hasnt faught anyone good since beat the puncher tito. i really think taylor is going to neutralize and expose hopkins grandfatherly age.

I agree with what you guys are saying regarding Tayor i.e. bigger,faster,stronger and a quality boxer, he's got a good chance, but I'm going for my man Hopkins he's going out on top baby!!!!

hopkins will beat taylor. taylor is to upright, mechanical, easy to read and moves straight back off an exchange. good at a certain level but not good enough for hopkins.
he might be 40 but he's still in the gym every day and is still strong right through 12 rounds.

I can’t root against Taylor; we only have a few fighters as it is from my state :(.

although I think Hopkins is going to win the fight....because he is such a pugulist. SuperLightweight has stressed an important point in the past.

Nard is not exactly a spring chicken. Taylor is an olympian who is at the top of his game. I made bets concerning this fight with people....and am still sticking with them. However, I do think this fight may be a whole lot closer than people picking Bernard anticipated.

I actually would not rule out the possibility of a Taylor win...because he is young, strong, fast, and hungry.
