    Hopkins won't run because Taylor doesn't press the action enough. This will be a very tactical battle. Taylor's jab is good no doubt but remember Hopkins jab is also very good. Taylor's righthand can be seen from miles away while Hopkins can use his as a lead or behind the jab especially since Taylor always leaves his left down by his waist. Taylor has much more flaws than Hopkins and hasn't fought good enough opposition in my mind to beat Hopkins. Unless Hopkins gets a little more older and slows down alot more I say Hopkins by decision.

          Hopkins is a pro (one that gets illegal and cheap shots in there). I am going with the pup on this one, Hopkins is done...at least Taylor sticks a jab at you all night!

              Taylor will win. Hes is the best middle-weight right now. Taylor isn't going to let Hopkins fight the kind of fight that Hopkins likes to fight. Taylor will be punching the whole time unlike Eastman who didnt even throw punches. Taylor's punches are going to be way too powerful and accurate for Hopkins. If Hopkins wants to win he is going to have to press Taylor early on, Hopkins won't be able to let Taylor win rounds hoping that the fight will play into his hands in the later rounds.

                I think this fight has come a little too early for Taylor... however this is not to say he can't win.

                I think taylor will dictate the pace and take the fight to Hopkins.. Hopkins has the ability to offset Taylors offense with his better footwork and ring generalship, and will look to counter at every opportunity. The question is whether Taylor can stick to his game plan, press the action enough and stay busy enough to knock Hopkins off his gameplan?? If he can I think there is a very good chance we will see the crowning of a new middleweight king.

                      I think Taylor's jab will prevent Hopkins from landing his right hook that he lunges at his opponents and that Taylor wins by decision.
