    Hopkins picks Taylor in Pavlik Rematch

    Bernard Hopkins apparently just did an interview with Boxing Talk and has picked Jermain to stop Kelly "in less than 8 rounds" and "makehim look ordinary" in their rematcfh at the catch-weight of 166 lbs.

    I think Hopkins picked Pavlik in the first fight.

      I think Taylor should beat Pavlik. I think he is a better fighter.

          The first fight he wanted someone to beat a guy that had gotten two close decisions in a row against him. Now he's sticking with his new "black fighters are superior" statement.

              I don't know if that's the issue. He rightly said neither guy could hang with Calzaghe or Kessler. I think Taylor is just a very reasonable pick in the rematch. It's a pick'em

                Whoever Popkins picks to win, thats the one that will lose.
                You can now rest assure that Pavlik will win.

                  Pavlik is a much more reasonable pick.

                    Hey I think Hopkins made that statement just to sell the fight. But now he would look like a fool picking a white guy to beat someone that already beat him twice.
