Hopkins is Out, Trinidad-Taylor Back On

[2501]

perfect tune up for Taylor really. easy fight that would pay big bucks.

There are very few people that could beat the focused taylor we saw in his rematch with Pavlik. If that taylor shows up again tito doesn't have a chance

I totally agree. Tito should retire as he can no longer compete at the elite level and is over his weight.

Hopefully, win or loose, it'll be Tito's last fight.

ok lets say tito wins, then what ?
there is no glory for tito;

[Method]

Hopkins don't want a fight with Tito because Tito is a dead fighter, and has been for a long time. Had Tito won some rounds, or done ANYTHING effective in his fight with Hopkins, or his fight with anyone (NOT named Mayorga), maybe that would be different. Hopkins has been uninterested in Trinidad for a while now. For what? $15-20M might change his mind, but then, no way King will be able to generate the kind of guarantee Trinidad needs as well.

[NachoMan]

Hopkins should just call it a career and let everyone else fight, quite simply the truth is no one gains nothing more after beating a old Hopkins softened up by Calzaghe, he was a great boxer in his time but I think thats it for the man.

What exactly did Calzaghe do that softened up Bernard?

Tito will not win this. No matter how he comes into the fight, he's far long gone. This is Jermains stepping stone to another Title Shot.
