very interesting. Never thought about that because I think Hopkins will beat Taylor, but your theory does make some sense. I still have money on Hopkins though, so i hope you are wrong

I want Taylor to beat Hopkins.

Mark my words: Hopkins will loose to Taylor.
Golden Boy Promotions needs another champion to promote! Hopkins beats him, retires and they are left with nothing!
All about politics!

I�m sure Oscar already talked him into it!

Mark my words you need to learn to spell the word LOSE before starting a thread with your nonsense bull****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopkins wouldn't think of doing something as foolish as that, so if I am hearing you correctly you think that, After 20 consecutive defenses of his middleweight title that he will throw away a picture perfect ending to an already exemplary legacy to have a chance of signing Taylor afterwards?

WOW I'm convinced, what the **** would he do that for, you don't think Hopkins is already at least a little bit pissed that so many people think his ko win over Oscar was bogus? No way he does that, if Hopkins loses to Taylor(which he just might do) it will be because Taylor won straight up no bs!!!!

What's more important to him, legend, or his future life and his family?
He is already a legend and now he needs to pass on the torch!
If he wins and retires, there will not be a real champ and people will always question is he the real deal?

I say it again.. MARK MY WORDS: HE WILL LOSE and LOSE BY POINTS!

Look you guys are forgeting this isnt Hopkins last fight. Hes not going to win or lose then retire. He said he would like tof finish this year up with 2 or 3 fights. You do know there is a rematch clause in the contract right.

Hopkins is very experince, When you have the experince that Hopkins have thats what he will use to beat taylor. Taylor shows way to much respect for hopkins, I will not say taylor doesnt have a chance but i am willing to cash on it, That Hopkins either brakes him down or takes him 12. Trust me bernard hopkins is very very patient as we saw in the eastman fight. Taylor hasnt been fully tested yet. His chin never been tested hes never been a fight vs a real real threat oppent. Joppy was done but he did well. I like taylor i just dont think its his time yet. He is a very very nice guy out of the ring. Best luck to the both of them. But i am going with Hopkins.

I think most are underestimating Taylor's chances. This will be a close one.

**Red_Menace** · 04-01-2005, 07:04 AM

I really can't see Hopkins throwing a fight. I have no reason to believe he would ever do that.

**AintGottaClue** · 04-01-2005, 08:09 AM

taylor doesnt look mentaly able to beat him if he gets his head on stright before the fight ill take taylor

**realtim** · 04-01-2005, 09:05 AM

Hopkins wont lose the fight and he wouldnt even think about throwing a fight not even if they put 50 million in front of him the guy has some dignity.

Hopkins decision or late stoppage.

Hopkins will loose to Taylor!
