Hopkins-Taylor may be off. Is X scared?

[MWCOFSU]

Who can Taylor fight in the meantime to become worthy of a shot? I doubt a victory over Felix Sturm will make Taylor's star shine any brighter. If Taylor isnt worthy now, then hows he ever going to get a shot at Hopkins?

Hopkins says -

Either 60-40 for the rematch or the $2 million. I think if you compare what I am offering Taylor, who is not a gold medal winner or a bigger name than I am, and compare the offer to a Roy Jones negotiation, I think I am being extremely fair.

Obviously Taylor is nowhere near Roy Jones status now, but we're talking about taylor's status should he defeat Hopkins and a rematch be made. I think Taylor star would be shining pretty damn bright should be defeat Hopkins.

you guys r joking taylor and is whole camp is scared.

why would he be scared, he has nothing to lose- if he losses so what it was to bernard hopkins but if he wins he is set for life

Hopkins needs to go ahead and fight this guy. He doesn't have much longer left before he retires so he needs to fight some talented opposition and Taylor is seen by many as one of number 1 up and comers. I mean, on the real though, who else is there better for him to fight right now? Hopkins is my favorite, but boo @ this dude if he doesn't take this fight.

If he doesn't though, I hope Taylor takes a fight wit Felix Sturm cus I think he should get another opportunity to get known.

Hopkins is a warrior

[FrankJack]

^^^No doubt he can be when he wants to. But he's in the last days of his career, he needs to find himself some appealing fights with talented opposition. Big thumbs down if he ends his career like this.

Hopkins,Hopkins and Hopkins.Is a great champ.

I think hopkins is doing this to hype up the fight, so that when it does happen it will sell big after him beating taylor he may call it quits
