B-Hop / Taylor is on

u guys know what i always say

It's a mistake for Taylor to take this fight with Hopkins right now. He's too green. His manager needs his ass kicked, then fired.

That's not gonna happen. Hop is likely to run if Taylor preassures him. He needs to beat B-hop in his own game. Take it the whole 12 rounds. Hella hard but if he wants, hey why not.

Agreed. BEAT HOPKINS TO THE PUNCH! His speed is going to have to offset Hopkins ring knowledge and craftiness.

Hopkins is old. This should be a great fight imo.

I glad its gonna go down, for a while I thought Taylor was gonna wimp out. It should be a good fight but even with Taylors all-around ability I feel Hopkins will teach him a whole lot and outpoint him fairly easily. But even if (when) Taylor goes down this fight will help out his carrer in the long run.

rep points for the scoop to him

Hopkins (46-2-1, 32 KOs) has big plans for his final year in the ring. Last month, he extended his division record for title defenses to 20 with a decision against top contender Howard Eastman. After he faces Taylor, Hopkins is eyeing two more fights – a fall bout against the winner of the light heavyweight rematch between Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver followed by a January fight against the winner of the May 14 Felix Trinidad-Winky Wright middleweight fight.

So hes moving up in weight, than rematching Trinidad at Middle?
First September, now January

Taylor is gonna beat Nard and then will have Taylor taking on the winner of Wright/Trinidad on september..Then Nard can go to Boxeo de Oro and fight Tarver...

You just like Trinidads chances against Taylor more than you like them against Nard dont you?

Jermaine Taylor is a kid, this would be an easy fight for bernard hopkins..i dont blame bernard for picking because there is nobody left for him to fight...maybe if trinidad fights him again that would be interesting.
