would hopkins beating taylor in the rematch be bad for the middleweight divsion?

hmm LOL...politics huh? Right...man some of you have went over the cliff on this fight. Taylor won becuse the judges thought he did slightly better than Hopkins, as the majority of fans feel. Save your accusations of political conniving for fights like Oquendo-Byrd and Burton-Augustus.

It would not be bad Winky and Taylor need to meet when Hopkins is done anyway and thats a UD for Winky all day.

I cant wait to see the same expression on Taylors face after he loses again, like we saw after he won and thought he lost last fight. I cant wait to see Hopkins step it up and knock Taylor out this time it's going to be fun to watch! Then he will have reclaimed his titles and there wont be Taylor anymore! Unless politics give Taylor this win like his last! GO HOPKINS

would hopkins beating taylor in the rematch be bad for the middleweight divsion? Yes. Hop needs to retire already and leave the fighting to the young lions.

yeah, all this is is Hopkins trying to go out with the titles. nothing more. shouldn't have much effect on the division as a whole.

If the fighters duck each other like they do in the Heavyweight division, yeah it'll be another hw division. But if they have another middleweight tournament, it'll be good for boxing, especially if a superstar can walk away the winner.

Yeah, and Taylors face looked like a pumpkin after the fight, why? Oh yeah, that's right, you must have forgot about the last four rounds where Hopkins mercilessly brutalized Taylor like his bitch. I'm a fair man, it was a terrible performance from Hopkins and not really worth one in the W column, but if Taylor missing for 12 rounds constitutes a solid victory then I must be blind.

it wouldn't be bad...hopkins is about to retire and then taylor will be champ again...simply as that

I think the IBF title is already on its way out, Solimon is the mandatory challenger and Taylor and Hopkins are gonna fight again so its not going to be defended so its gonna be stripped. I think Solimon and Ikeke are gonna fight for it

Taylor will win again, so don't worry about it

cause he might retire and split up all 4 belts and we would have another heavyweight divsion No because we always say stuff like this in boxing but the sport is so unpredictable and stuff like that happeneds alot and at first it seems bad but then everything always works its way out.

Taylor can always reclaim the belts after Hopkins whups his ass a second time. It's all relative.
