Hopkins has the skills to win...but Taylor has a wicked jab and is just so big for a MW...close fight...but Hopkins squeaks by...I think Hopkins would be eating some of the hardest shots from Taylor than he has in a while

I keep saying this, and Tyson and Jones both agree with me (which I find both pleasing, and greatly disturbing)...Taylor is still a bit too green, and needs a few more fights before he's ready for Hopkins. If he fights him now, I don't think he can beat him. Hopkins is too experienced, too cagey, and too hard to hit with big shots. Taylor may very well be the future of the division, but not if he tangles with Hopkins too soon.

Guyz I Think Jermain "bad Intenstion" Taylor Is A Treat For Bernard Hopskin... I THINK TAYLOR IS READY FOR HOPKINS Hope This Year Willl Happen

Give Taylor a little more time to work on his skills and maybe have one or two more fights. He will be ready, and it should be a great fight.

my thoughts exactly

you can't just come in on a guy like that,(b-hop) that's been fighting for that long and expect to land punches on him at will, he is a defensive genius with better reflexes than he had in his prime.. truly a freak of nature.

hopkins will just lead him out into deep water, let him land a few shots to get confident and tire himself out then hop will just start warming up on him..

i really admire jermain's attitude he is always eager and excited about his sport and his learning of the game. If it turns out to be a hard leason its best taught by hopkins and taylor will eventually make a great champ win or lose. (no shame in losing to hopkins)

Hop would **** on Taylor late at this point. Jermain has nice skills but Hopkins would **** him up.
