    That's because you're more of a Hopkins fan than a Taylor fan. No disrespect intended, but you have blinkers on. I watched the two fights from a neutral standpoint (many times) and scored them both for Taylor.

      I actually think Calzaghe-Taylor would be a good, exciting fight. I think Calzaghe would win, but for some reason people completely count Taylor out. Taylor lost twice to Pavlik, alright, but he almost had him out in the first fight and the second one was close. It was a bad matchup for Taylor. I'm not making excuses. Taylor lost twice, but I still think he can improve.

      As far as Calzaghe and Hopkins. I think Calzaghe will win, but I think it'll be a close, tough fight. Calzaghe is the favorite, yes. He has speed, comes from angles, high volume of punching, and is younger, but Hopkins also has the style to counter Calzaghe's strengths. Hopkins is a very smart veteran who knows the recipe to beat Calzaghe. I think Calzaghe will win, but I certainly don't think it'll be a blowout, and I certainly don't think he's going to knock Hopkins out.

      Styles make fights.
