Who is the better fighter? Hopkins or Taylor?

[zekebox]

Just a simple question who is better?

[Fox McCloud]

Hopkins by far.

Resume, ability.

****, even in the two actual fights, it appeared to me that Hopkins won the rounds that he fought with Taylor with ease. It was the first 8 rounds that he took off that were his demise.

But, man, he had Taylor hurt a lot when he actually was fighting and not ****ing around.

[Truth]

Easily B-Hop. Hopkins lost because his game plan was bad.

[MANGLER]

Hopkins. The 2 losses to Taylor weren't decisive and didn't convince me Taylor was the better man.

First you made a thread wanting to know who is the slicker boxer between Jermain Taylor or Bernard Hopkins, and when you got unanimously told that BHOP is slicker and that you don't understand anything about boxing, you decide to make a thread asking who is the better fighter?

Get over it. Pavlik lost. If you were silly enough to believe that triangle theory bull**** in the first place, where since Pav beat Taylor and Taylor beat Hopkins, Pav should easily beat Hopkins, then you are a fool. You've been told time and time again that styles make fights. Believe it and move on. Stop trying to make excuses trying to prove that something was wrong with Pavlik when he fought Hopkins.

Listen to what you're being told on these threads, take it to heart, start watching more than just Pavlik fights so you understand a little about the game, and STOP TRYING TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR PAVLIK.

Hopkins is clearly the better fighter.

He just fought the wrong fights against Taylor.

[Silencers]

Definitely Hopkins.

some people just cant accept defeat it happens, just accept it and move on,

also same guy voted that Pavlik was a better fighter than Hopkins. im still waiting to see his reasons for that

Great post.

Get over it, Pavlik lost, Hopkins won. End of story. No amount of Pavlik excuses, or is So and So better than Hopkins threads will change that.

Also, to answer your question Hopkins is the better fighter.

Just a simple question who is better?

Why don't you just go ahead and start a thread asking "Who is the better fighter? Pavlik or Taylor?" because we can all feel that's where this is going; it's the underlying assumption in each of your threads so far. "Pavlik is better than Taylor who was better than Hopkins," is clearly the logic you are trying to use.

The fact is that they are two pretty evenly matched fighters; Taylor just didn't have an answer for Pavlik. Who's the more versatile fighter? Taylor. Who's the more technical, disciplined fighter? Pavlik. One of them could beat fighters the other couldn't beat and vice versa (as we saw with Hopkins). Their different styles give them different match up problems for different opponents.
