Countdown to Hopkins/Taylor

Like Hopkins said.."I'm not gonna lose to a fighter from Arkansas...I'm a philly fighter."

This is tough, but until someone proves othewise, Hopkins is still king of this weight class so I can't bet aginst him. I think Hopkins is getting up there and Taylor will be great for years to come... I give the edge to the crafty veteran...though not by much. :boxing:

Hopkins is going to dismantle Taylor. All Taylor has going for him is a jab but people need to wake up and realize that Hopkins has a very good jab himself. His right hand will bust Taylor up as well.

Hopkins really is as good as the hype! A gentle suggestion. Watch the sport of boxing. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Of course....if you look at in the sense that: Hopkins is an aging fighter then yes......Taylor does look imposing. My only rebuttle is this: Hopkins has been taking it easy with his last few opponents....setting them up, and not throwing Haymakers all over the ring. Like they talked about....its a microcosm of him as a whole. he waits....and is patient. That can be the said for his actual MANAGEMENT in fighting others. He does not have the chance to be patient with Taylor, and he knows that. He is going to have to.....and WILL test Taylor's metal. This fight weighs much heavier on Taylor than it does Hopkins IMO. People are saying stuff like: "What is Nard gonna do? How will he overcome time?. Im only saying, what is Taylor going to do...how is he going to overcome his general lack of serious opposition, him fighting the best inside and outside fighter he has ever faced, and generally someone who doesnt give a fuck. This fight is compelling because it is a chance for Hopkins to show people how mean he really is in the ring. Alot of these boxing newbies talk about Hopkins being a pure boxer....who runs from everyone he fights. I laugh at that shit. I think he is going to go toe to toe and demolish the green fighter in 9 rounds. Taylor has never faced someone who was not scared of him. He will now face someone who fits this bill. Firstly, a gentle correction. If Taylor was a knife maker, BH could very well test his metal. However, the word in this contaxt, is mettle! Secondly...If Taylor throws caution to the wind and fights as he has been doing up to this point, he will beat up BH. Either that, or Hopkins really is as good as the hype!

Ill take Taylor as well by KO

i think its a close fight, but i'm going with the younger, bigger fighter... hop has to lose sometime

Taylor has improved in every fight and i expect nothing less than to see Taylor at his all time best. His power and speed are going to give BHop alot of trouble. If Hop goes to war he is getting knocked out. If he boxes he will do better but Taylor will have his jab working beautifully and will eventually catch Hopkins. ;)

too much typin and talkin. It'll be Tayler win. Then all you's ass will be "Ey yo, ey yo I give Taylor mad respect yo. Great fighter yo. He's been my favorite yo. Im impressed ver impressed. Hopkins time to retire cuz hes too old yo." Shut ta fuck! Tayler will bust Hopkins!! Ill cut and paste that where I can retrieve it on sunday morning.

uuuhhhh......roy jones :D still lost i know i thought that show was crap compared to gatti- mayweather. they did a good job with that one but hopkins- taylor was just boring as hell bull.

Don't sell Taylor so short. He is the next generation. The real question is does his era begin on Saturday? It's a stronger possibility than some of you give him credit for.

#1. This fight will be like Hagler-Mugabi, a out of his prime Hagler(Hopkins) comes and fights the dangerous Mugabi (Taylor) #2. Taylor has the most overrated jab...the last time his jab looked good was against Bunema....A BLOWN UP WELTERWEIGHT!!!!! #3. Taylor has TERRIBLE defense, his fight was VERY close with Edouard and he could have been losing till that stoppage... #4. Hopkins is here to make a statement #5. Taylor will LOSE in a good hard fought battle where he wins lots of fans..

Emanuel Stewart said that the worst thing for an old fighter is to fight someone with a good jab. I totally agree. But he forgot to mention that the worst thing for a young fighter is to fight Bernard Hopkins.

That was interesting. Do you guys think that every great champion has 1 great fight left in them? I think so and I think hopkins is going to show everyone that he is one of the 5 greatest MWs ever. I loved the bit on DiBellas and Hopkins hatred for each other. DiBella said, "A Jury of his peers and blah blah also saw that he was a malicious liar" ...that cracked me up. Taylor does look very imposing though. It is definitely going to be a good fight. I am a Taylor fan but not in the same way I'm a Hopkins fan. I think Hopkins will win but if Taylor wins i'll gie him all the respect in the world for beating an all-time great.

What is Taylor gonna do when Nard bum rushes his ass? I can't tell you what he'll do but, I hope he gets a stiff jab to the face when he tries that shit.
