Hopkins picks Taylor in Pavlik Rematch

[starjammer]

Id agree with Hopkins. I picked Taylor 5 minutes after the first fight. I like both guys, both seem like gentlemen, and both good for the sport. I think Taylor will surprise everybody. He will enjoy the extra weight, it will give him that bit of confidence he needs. I don't see him stopping Pavlik at all. I'd go with the decision.

Thats my not-too-in-depth take on it.

Bitchnard didn't have the power to finish Jermain.

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

I think someone already said he picked Pavlik in the first fight? I'm not sure if it's true though.

[The Hammer]

I think Pavlik will have an easier fight with Taylor this time.

[Parody]

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

Hopkins also picked Hatton to beat Mayweather.

People forgetting that Taylor is still a good fighter.

I cant tell intell he comes in the ring but his relationship with Steward sure effected his training.

and for people who say he not listening Steward. well training is not only on the ring giving advice but also during training which is more important.

when you have bad chemistry everything goes wrong

That was simply to hype the fight though. I'm not sure if his promotions have anything to do with this fight but it could be just hype this time too.

This is a pick'em fight but Pavlik has the mental edge and boxing is 70% mental.

well you cant know intell you see the new Taylor in the ring.

Another thing he was ahead in the scorecard and also he he knock down Pavilk

[sparked_85]

I thought Taylor looked much better than Pavlik for much of that fight. Does getting knocked out actualy stop you believing 'I'm better than this guy'

It's a test of character, I got Taylor to win.
