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

    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.

      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!

        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.

          1) Your a ****ing idiot

          2) I will bet my wifes left tit that Froch doesnt fight Kessler and Calzaghe in 2007, let alone Bute, do you believe everything you read dummy?

          3) Froch called himself the best in the world...your the only one who believed him ****head. since when do we start caring what fighters say? there are 100 fighters out there who think they are the best, you happen to believe any of them that hails from your neck.

          4) Froch did better with Eastman(sparring ****head) then Nard did...ok whatever-Miranda ****ing knocked Eastman out but earlier you called Mranda garbage.

          5) You picked Calzaghe to be dismantled in 1 round against Lacy so shut the **** up.


          6) What would we do without you, your dumb and your passionate-its a wonderful combination!

              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.

                  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 ****ing 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.
