sigh* just ducking sturm

Taylor may be ducking sturm, but Hopkins surely is not.

[Truth]

THIS IS GREAT , Bernard is going to fight the guy we all think can be the next great middleweight. Bernard is not running from challenges this year, if he beats Taylor that would be incredible.

[Run]

There might be some talk about Taylor being "naturally" bigger. I do not think that will be a factor in the fight. Hopkins is far too slick, and will slip Taylor's jab and counter with hooks. At first glance, one might think Taylor will want to keep B-Hop in the center of the ring; I however do not believe this. Taylor's only shot at winning this fight, is to let his hands go and be the agressor against Bernard. Even at that point, he is playing with fire. I do not feel Taylor is ready to fight B-Hop at this point, and needs at least 2 tune ups. Hopkins would win by either late knockout, or decision.

The fight will be garbage, as Hopkins will be just a few steps ahead of Taylor the whole fight. Taylor is not ready for Hopkins.

Im looking forward to this, its good to see a champion taking on the main challengers to their title. I hope if Hopkins wins this he will fight the winner of Trinidad/Wright to really cement his position as the best Middleweight in the World.

[Truth]

Bernard Hopkins is doing the right thing. The boxing community continues to talk about how good Taylor is, so Hopkins is saying I am so great I can even beat young and hungry stars at 40 years old. I can't wait for the fight.

Prediction: Bernard Hopkins by a close UD.

Bernard Hopkins is going to make him look normal. Taylor is going to make a terrible mistake through the early and middle rounds, which is, not pressing the action enough, and Bernard is going to make him look foolish. In the later rounds, a tired Taylor is going to try to pull something off, and Bernard Hopkins is going to drop him on his way to a comfortable decision.. 118-110

So, will Hopkins receive more credibility after Taylor fight than he got winning with Eastman?

[Kimmy]

I think Hopkins will win on points but i suspect Taylor may make him work for it. I`m very surprised this fight is happening as now Hop has 20 defences why fight this guy. i mean, yeah Taylor is probable regarding the second best middleweight and the only person apart from Sturm that Hopkins hasn`t battered but really, a pointless excercise!
Hopkins by dec! Something like 116 - 112!

either way this is going to be intresting
