Hopkins + deadline = BS

[Rockin']

I dont see a problem with a 24 four deadline at all. Tayolrs been saying that he wants him, so heres his chance. How much time does he need to back up what he's been saying. Hopkins is the champ and if he wants to put a dead line on the offer he has more than the right to do it. Besides, since Taylors been calling him out, how much time would he need to think about it. Hes been saying he wants him for many months. I could see Hopkins' handlers doing this as a put up or shut up type of deal. Why leave Taylor 3 or 4 more weeks to talk more **** if he is going to take it anyway. He could take it now, put a little bit of integrity behind his previous words and fight Hopkins.... Rockin'

I think 1.5 million is Twice what Taylor is worth.

That is soooo right. A challenger pay is determined by how many people he is going to pull in to a pay per view fight. I don't think there is any way that Taylors name adds 1.5 million to any fight.

Now Tito and De la hoya could legitimatly ask for much more. Even Mayorga, but Jermain doesn't have any fans despite the fact that HBO has been handfeeding him for a year.

Jermain doesn't have any fans despite the fact that HBO has been handfeeding him for a year.

That and beating the wrong guys does not add credit to his name. Joppy, yes he is a good fighter..but certainly no marquee name. Raul Marquez was fighting when Jermaine was screwing the pegs on to his BMX mongoose.

so what is Sturm's KO % again? less than 50%?!?! That's *****-made, even my main man Johnny tapia, who never could punch hard, had a KO % over 50.

So just because he dont knock everyone out he's bitchmade? would you fight Sturm? If he beat the **** out you, what would that make you? If you wouldnt fight him, what would that make you? We are all entitled to our opinions, but no boxer is bitchmade. Not a single one. They all sacrifice their bodies for this sport, so support them, voice your opinion, or shut the **** up.

is nard still wanting options on taylor if they fight, as reported earlier this week????

i dont think sturm could beat nard or taylor, though i think he'd do well and deserves to fight them....

[joeboxer]

Yes he is. but its Oscar not Nard that is demanding options.

If I do recall, Raul hammered Taylor good with a few shots and sent Taylor packing....Taylor cant deal with pressure he would fold...Raul hurt him, I could only imagine the shots that Hopkins would land on him...*ouch*

isnt that the same since nard and oscar are parnters???

[Super_Lightweight]

lol

This is really simple. If Taylor wants the fight, in his heart, he will take the money. He has plenty of time to think about it. This is more money than he has ever made. He is very young. I think he may be ready to beat Hopkins but maybe he doesn't believe it himself.

So sad.

Bring on Sturm then, maybe?

Not really because Hopkins is definitly a silent partner type. He basically just gets a little bit of a check from Oscar for going out recruiting boxers, adding legitamacy and such. I know what your saying that Nard will get a little of Taylors money even if he loses, but Hopkins really isn't a promoter.
