    Bernard Hopkins Vs Taylor III in the near future?

    On July 16 2005,Hopkins lost his undisputed middleweight championship to Jermain Taylor via a split decision,Hopkins started slowly,but came on strong over the second half of the fight.Many press row writers scored the fight for Hopkins.On December 3, 2005, Hopkins lost his rematch against Jermain Taylor by unanimous decision,All three judges scored the fight 115-113 for Taylor. Recently Future HOF Bernard Hopkins made his premiere as an Espn broadcaster for Friday night fights, He was asked who he would he like to face next? Hopkin's said he would like to fight Joe Calzaghe in a rematch,but if that doesnt happen...Jermain Taylor possibly.After Hopkins upset over current Middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik in a 170lb catch weight contest where Hopkins "turned back the clock" and "schooled" Pavlik and once again proved his status as an elite boxer and could bounce back from anything, Do you think Hopkins vs Taylor III would be the fight of the year for 09 (If) it were to happen? and who would you pick to win this time? could the decirated superstar B-hop "turn the clock back" once again over Taylor? or can a revived and determined Jermain Taylor do what hes used to doing,and pick up the Win for the third time? (B-hop 49-5-32Ko's vs Taylor 28-2-17Ko's)

    I dunno. but I would like to state that pavlik a one dimensional bum, that I enjoy watching, beat taylor pretty solid in the rematch. I think bernard would fight a very Pavlik like fight and take the W. did I mention, altho i enjoy watching pavlik, I believe soon he will become the " brooklyn brawler" of boxing. many will begin using him as a stepping stone. his coach is a dumbass, and my only reason for not liking the pavlik camp personally.

              Hopkins would tear that ass up badd this time around. He would go all out, and He wont leave the Ring without a KO.

                    This could go down as the most boring trilogy ever in history. That second fight had me snoozing in and out throughout. I don't get how Taylor has been in some real slugfests and then gets really conservative against really defensive fighters like Hopkins and Spinks. Hopkins could make a fight against Gatti boring.
