If B-Hop is coming back, shouldn't he target Taylor?

no he shouldnt. theres no point. regardless of who you think won, taylor holds two "victories" over hopkins, negating any need for a third fight. besides, i dont think hopkins would have taylor in mind while hes a LHW (assuming he'll fight at LHW).

zIf he come sback he needs to go after Calzaghe, Wright, Jones jr or a HW

no, maskaev or calzaghe!

No. Hopkins will never get a decision over Jermain Taylor, ever. It's already been said by myself and many others but I see their 2 fights as 1-1. Hopkins clearly got the shaft in the first fight. I personally (and I think I'm one of only a slight few) want to see him do what he said he was gonna do, and become heavyweight champion next. I'm also interested in him fighting Joe Calzaghe, so maybe Calzaghe first, Heavyweight division afterwards. Either way I don't think anybody could argue that Hopkins isn't a fucking beast for his age. The man is still competiting at championship levels at a point in time where most fighters who've had careers as long as he has, fall by the wayside. Hopkins has been my favorite fighter since 95', and he'll go down as one of my all-time favorites. He just keeps getting better and better.

I hope they don't fight again. The first fight had a few moments but the second fight was one of the most boring championsip fights I have seen in awhile.

What about Froch (if he KO's Kessler and Calzaghe next year, after dealing with Bute in the spring, all of which he will)? He called himself 'the best fighter in the world' live on BBC a week after Hopkins-Oscar, and says he did better with Eastman than Hopkins did in sparring just before and just after the Hopkins fight. will you just shut the fuck up?

I would love to see Hopkins take on some folks at 175. I would love to see Hopkins vs. Adamek or Dawson or Briggs etc. Not enough money for Nard however...I just dont want to see Taylor v. Hopkins again, the first two were absolutely positively nothing special, why pay for a third? fights I want to see Hopkins in... Lucien Bute Mikkel Kessler Joe Calzaghe Librado Andrade Chad Dawson Paul Briggs Tomasz Adamek I promise you he has serious trouble with every opponent I have named! Hopkins has moved on from 160...lets fight the guys that dwell in your area Bernard!

Taylor brings to the ring one thing Hopkins cannot deal with at this point in his career: activity I dont see Hopkins beating Taylor. His chance was in the first fight.

no. His middleweight domination is at an end now. he should just look for the big fights and I think Taylor is one big fight he can't win as he would just get outworked and lose a decision.

I am really suprised by the respones.........Now IMO obviously the fight would not be at 160.I mean Taylor is a fight or two at most from moving up thats pretty obvious unless his team intends to keep matching him with smaller guys that he still does not seem to beat clearly.I mean he whooped Ouma but how did he not KO him.......Winky has a great chin and D so thats understandable but Ouma took many huge shots from Taylor.Maybe he would be stronger at 168 or 175 someday but if he and Hopkins ever fought again it should be at 168 or 175........and I think that gives Hopkins a big advantage because he would stop Taylor..........he should have moved up years ago but wanted to cement his legacy.Tarver would beat Taylor IMO and Hopkins carved up Tarver at a more comfortable weight.Hopkins loses another close Decision at 160 vs Taylor but wins by stoppage or clear UD at 168 or 175 unless taylor is being held back fighting at 160 too.

No, because he would probably lose AGAIN and then he would have to retire. Imagine being 0-3. Ouch.

taylor has recently stated that he is staying at 160lb, hopkins dropping down to 160lb is a lot harder for him now since he packed on some weight to fight tarver. i think that hopkins fits into the 175lb divison, i think he looks good physically and is at a more natural weight for his age now. fighting taylor again is a dead end, getting a decision over taylor is like hitting the lottery back to back, it just aint going to happen. hopkins had him beat clearly in their first fight and he got the shaft, the second fight flip a coin, draw or a draw really, nothing really happend that fight, but since i still considered hopkins the champ whenthat fight took place i'd say that he got the rounds where there was next to no action. ( i know people are going to have a field day with this, but who cares) at this point i don't think that anyone will ever get a decision over taylor, he's almost the american version of joe calzaghe, only taylor has stepped up and fought guys that are in their prime or considered still in their prime. there are a lot of fights that hopkins could make anyone from 175-heavyweight. heavyweight is a stretch but with his skill, hopkins could give anyone fits, that and he puts on and holds the weight better than Toney and has just as good defense, so i don't see any reason why hopkins could compete at heavyweight. i would say that hopkins fight guys at 168 but if i was hopkins i'd tell those guys that they have to come up in weight to fight................ but fighting taylor again, no point at all in this fight, remember hopkins gave his blessing upon leaving middleweight to taylor and manny steward.

He should stay away from the middle weight Div. i can't beat Taylor, and would most likely be blown out by Wright. Id like to see him at LHW. i think he could become champ there. (if he stays away from RJJ)

That fight was too boring.. I think you all forgot about it. :)

Do we really want to see Taylor vs Hopkins 3? let the kid hav his titles and keep fightin good fighters out there, when was the last time u seen someone defend against 3 dangerous fighters 1 after another? Taylor is a good thing for boxing right now, hopkins should move to lightheavy, cruiser or heavyweight, hopefully heavyweight it would be amazing to see another 40+ beat a heavyweight guy n get the title lol

I dont think he will ever get a decision over TAylor agreed and this has allready been proven,,,also a fight with calzaghe would be a way bigger fighter and more exciting than another fight with taylor to have a trilogy you usually need 2 fights that were foy type fight taylor and hopkins did not have that so i really don't think that a 3rd. fight would be that big.

no, he would loss the third time. maybe be KOed.

No, I'd rather see him fight at Cruiserweight. He could become the unified champ there and would have little trouble dispatching guys like Bell, Braithwaite, Mormeck and company. They just aren't on his level and maybe then we'd have a legitimate unified cruiserweight champion who can defend the title a few times. He could fight untill he's 46 or 47 thus I firmly believe.
