The Guru says "Taylor is going to beat Hopkins"

[AP6]

Taylor needs a couple more fights to be ready for Hopkins. He is a really good fighter though. B-HOP by UD. Hopkins always gets the job done.

And from what I've seen of Tito so far, he seems to be a pretty legit middleweight to me. He did alot better against Joppy than Taylor did. Taylor hit William with some ill shots but couldn't stop him whereas Tito did (granted, though, Joppy fought ****** against Trinidad).
.

I could not agree with you more. Tito did the unthinkable in simply making William look average and knocking him out. Shifty's words after the fight were: "Ive never been hit like that before". That is saying so much it is not even funny. Tito has cemented himself as a legit contender for X's throne.

although I do not think he would win a rematch. Excellent post and insightfulness.

His win over Mayorga was nothing compared to that. Joppy would destroy Mayorga with relative ease.

"Joppy would destroy Mayorga with relative ease."

No doubt.

I also feel that Taylor has a good chance to beat Hopkins (50/50). I think Hopkins' mental strength will be challenged by the young buck. Taylor has never met anyone that was his match in the pros or amateurs, and I feel that pattern will continue, because Hopkins has declined JUST ENOUGH to be taken advantage of by a guy like Taylor.

Eastman was known as a complacent fighter vs guys like Hacine Cherifi. It was very unlikely that he would have beaten Bernard. However, many people picked him for the upset (including me). In reality, I think people hoped for the upset more than they really believed it would happen.

Taylor I pick for different reasons. He will force the fight in my opinion, something that Eastman would not do. Taylor has a real mean streak in him...and it could be enough to beat a 40 year old Bernard Hopkins.

Complacency (Eastman) won't get the job done. Taylor could very well get it done. It's very possible.

taylor will put up a better fight that eastman, eastman needed to be a lot busier, but Hops is good at controlling the pace and his experience and smarts will really show...also this will be the first time taylor is in with a guy he can't outbox, he's gonna have to figure out another way to set up the big shots while worrying about what's coming in
