    Taylor-Hopkins getting closer (^_^)

    Last week the Bernard Hopkins-Jermain Taylor fight ran into a wall when Golden Boy Promotions and DiBella Entertainment were unable to finalize a deal. Sources close to the situation informed that a $500,000 increase Taylor's guaranteed purse would have gotten the deal done. Now that Golden CEO Richard Schaefer has returned from vacation, he and Taylor's promoter Lou DiBella are again trying to finalize the Hopkins-Taylor bout for a July HBO PPV. The $500,000 gap has already been sliced down a bit, and both sides are cautiously optimistic an agreement can be reached. Neither Richard Schaefer, nor Lou DiBella were available for immediate comment.

    I am seriously in need of points, so if anyone would like to donate some I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

          That could be a great fight...Taylor by UD. But I don't think that Nard would risk the chance of fighting the winner of Trinidad/Wright.

              Why woulden't Taylor want to fight? Even if he loses he is still young and the loss wont effect his future career.

                I feel that Taylor is being given way more credit than he deserves. I realize he is a promising fighter, and excellent prospect....but exactly what has he done?

                Raul Marquez was boxing when Jermaine was 10. Beating William Joppy should not automatically make you "One of the Best". Joppy is a game fighter; and somewhat of a gatekeeper....but come on. How is Taylor prepared to fight a real pro? It is way too early in his career. He needs to fight:

                Jantuah
                Eastman
                Sturm

                and some other lesser fighters before fighting guys like

                Tito
                Hopkins
                Wright
                Ouma

                etc.
