Taylor can beat Hopkins

jimbo0421y ago

I believe that Taylor can beat Hopkins. But it is hard to say that he will. I can't imagine Hopkins losing, come to think of it and I can't imagine Taylor losing either. Somethings got to give! Ill tell you this Taylor has got skill! But Hopkins hasn't lost in about, what? ... 20 years!

Comments (11)

yeah and Pernell whitaker would then KO Ruiz, WTF? Anyways Taylor has one real shot i think against Hopkins and that is pressuring him. I dont think he has the defense to stop Bernard if he sets up counter shots all night so he needs to bring the fight to him and not let Bernard lean aginst the ropes and get set for his shots like he did with Eastman I agree Taylor's jab will have to be effective all night

21y ago

This looks like it is erily similar to Cintron Margarito. Taylor has never been close to being in trouble. This will be a test to see how well he deals with adversity because Hopkins will get his shots in. I am predicting Hopkins KOs him in the mid rounds after eating some jabs and right hands first.

21y ago

yes Taylor can win if 1. Hopkins doesn't turn up to the fight, or 2. Hopkins breaks both arms during the fight.

Ruiz would KO both their asses with ease. yeah and Pernell whitaker would then KO Ruiz, WTF? Anyways Taylor has one real shot i think against Hopkins and that is pressuring him. I dont think he has the defense to stop Bernard if he sets up counter shots all night so he needs to bring the fight to him and not let Bernard lean aginst the ropes and get set for his shots like he did with Eastman
