Steward picked Hatton to beat Zoo and now he picks TAYLOR!!

OH well. He has bogeyed plenty of picks.

Agreed..Steward is dead on again, at least my money hopes so

He also picked Harris over Maussa....What's your point? :rolleyes: is it stewards fault that his fighter didint listen to him? ive been watching steward for a very long time, i have never seen him so angry in the corner, ever.

He also picked Harris over Maussa....What's your point? :rolleyes: well, duh, would he really pick against his own fighter??? :confused:

he picked wright over trinidad before the fight, mostly based on how trinidad was acting before the fight, he said it reminded him of hopkins vs trinidad.

http://www.*************.com/columns/stories/122296571.php steward was pretty much dead on in his assessment of hatton/tsyzu, will he be right again? I agree with alot of stewards opinions on the fight and i'm picking taylor as well... He also picked Harris over Maussa....What's your point? :rolleyes:

do a search...i said hatton would beat zoo and i also said taylor would beat hopkins A YEAR AGO...i also said wright would easily beat trinidad

Gonna pick Taylor to win this fight. He's got the right physical attributes, strength, quickness in both hands and upper torso movement. I see Jermain Taylor as a taller version of Mayweather. Don't get me wrong, I like Bernard Hopkins. I think he's one of the best tactical fighters out there. And by tactical, depending on what type of opponent he faces, his style will either be entertaining or downright boring. But he wins. And that's all that matters. The Taylor/Hopkins fight will be a close one. Coz B-Hop can be a dirty fighter. My thoughts exactly. I've said the exact thing before but for for some reason I've been deemed crazy for thinking that way. The only way Taylor can lose is if he loses his compsure if he doesn't land like he wants to.

Well, right now, I'm still picking Hopkins by a SD or MD. I don't think it will be unanimous. I doubt Hopkins will KO Taylor and Nard has too much of a beard to be KO'd himself. I think it's a Pick'em fight with the champ coming out on top of a dubious decision. We'll see.

Steward's heart hasn't really been in the game since the 70's and 80's.. but he still knows his boxing ;)

well obviously steward will be biased towards his own fighters, but he has no stake in this fight or hatton/zoo so it should be his honest assessment... alot of what he says makes sense, as it did about hatton/zoo...

His Boxer Harris lost to a journey man. What does he know (well he knows a lot obviously, but still..)

Im just going to pick Taylor because I cant stand Hopkins.

Please remember that Emmanuel Stweard thought it was a good idea for he and Lennox to film Ocean's 11, rather than TRAIN for a title defense vs. Hasim Rahman...remember what happened? My checking account sure does :) He also though that Vivian Harris deserved a shot vs. Kostya Tszyu....sure thang bro.... Emmanuel thought he deserved 20% of Holyfield's purses after Evander beat Bowe....peace Manny!

here is the article: Steward Sees Big Trouble for Hopkins in Taylor By Scoop Malinowski When asked if he thought the powerful jab of Jermain Taylor - not to mention the youth, hunger, strength and determination - would be severe trouble for undisputed Middleweight king Bernard Hopkins, Emanuel Steward quickly concurred. "Yes, yep, yep, yeah, that's one of the fights that's a real, tough pick 'em and the slight edge I'm going with Jermain," said the Hall of Famer, before elaborating into a fascinating analysis. "I think that the one thing that all elder fighters have problems with when they get in their 30s is the jab - a young fighter with a fast left jab. Because the jab is the punch that is the shortest distance and you have very little time to see that because the reflexes are slowing. Guys who have jabs, they give all the fighters problems. And that's been just no exception. And I think that Jermain has a good jab, physically measures up to Bernard for one of the few times. And he also has a tough attitude. I mean, for all Bernard is, he's still like a bully, an intimidator, he's a bully-type guy. And Jermain - forget all that country baby boy talk - there's a look in Jermain - I know when I see too - and I think this will be - to me - the fight that will prove to me if Hopkins is as good as people who are listing him in the history books. I don't feel that way. I feel that he's a good middleweight that just happens to be along at the right time, when the middleweight division is the worst that it's ever been in history. And I think that's why he's been able to win all those fights. But when you look at the credible big names that he's ever beat - Trinidad, a welter/junior middleweight - Oscar de la hoya - a welterweight that brought himself up to middleweight - that's all. But he hasn't had to fight too much. Closest fight roughly he had was with Antwun Echols which was still no world class big fight. He's been very fortunate. His record puts him in a position in history that I don't think he's, you know, really that (inaudible on audio tape replay). You can't fault him because all he can do is beat what's up there. And he's beaten everybody that was up there. But unfortunately he hasn't been in any great fights, but he did all he can do. To me, Jermain Taylor will be the first fighter he fights that, to me, that he will be tested, where I think he will fall.. All the other fights, I don't give him much credit, believe it or not. This is the fight that I'm looking at who I will determine the way I feel how he would have held up. And I think Jermain Taylor - even though he's young - presents that challenge."

I don't know enough about Taylor to pick him, but I agree with many people that Hopkins is grossly over-rated.
