      I don't think that Hopkins will fight anyone after he's bombed out by Taylor!

        Taylor vs. Hopkins...

        Can't it be equated somewhat with fights like Tua vs. Lewis, Grant vs. Lewis, Tyson vs. Holyfield, or even Trinidad vs. Hopkins? In all those fights, alot of people thought the harder puncher would be able to KO the boxer/puncher, but it never happened...and I think the only way Taylor wins is if Hopkins shows considerable age. If not, Taylor will crumble like Grant on the big stage, and Hops will have the perfect victory to retire on...

          i favor taylor over hopkins if taylor can make adjustments round to round. then taylor should take an easy tuneup against any of the easy mandatories before fighting another big money hbo hopkins rematch.after the taylor loss hbo hopkins should fight trinidad if trinidad can get by the crafty leftie winky. im not sold on trinidad. so what if he beat mayorga.hell spinx beat mayorga so what.or hopkins can fullfill his hbo contract by fighting the other weak middleweight belt holders before a trinidad or taylor rematch. as far as i'm concerned tito would have small chance against taylor. more chance against hopkins.

            was that mayorga fight the first time you've seen trinidad fight or something? you know he's beaten more people, right?

            anyway, taylor can OBVIOUSLY beat hopkins, but i doubt he will...the only way i see him winning is if he realizes that he CAN beat hopkins, and is agressive throughout the whole bout...

            just by looking at him i can tell he's intimidated by the whole situation though, and will try to fight pretty and outbox hopkins.

            my money's on hopkins to intimidate and beat taylor. hell, if hopkins had any type of power, id say it would be similar to margarito vs. cintron, and taylor will come into the ring terrified and cry like a baby when he loses.

                sure iv'e seen tito knock the **** out of apponents.but after a 27 month layoff and an easy style wise fight against macho mayorga doesn't prove anything to me. beating winky will convince me . winky could make this fight ugly and boring,jabbing, slipping,running. and triniad may have weight problems. tito being dehydrated or bloatting up after weigh in will play in winky's favor. a trinidad before layoff will TKO wright in middle rounds. taylor over hopkins. hungery,young,speed, heart and intelligently listens to his corner.he could be guided to a victory. all he has to do is fight his fight not hopkins.
