Hopkins-Taylor: NeXt in Line

[Manny_P]

I dunno, I wouldn't say hopkins has shown his age in his last fight. However, I know it only takes one fight to show a significant deterioration, and I'm praying it won't kick in until after his next and last fight. I won't be able to take a b-hop loss.

doo, last Hopkins fight was garbage. Aging will show if you put a pressure fighter against him. Jermain will stop Hopkins in my opinion. Hopkins isn't so confident to beat Taylor. I mean, he's already asking for a rematch in case he loses.

It wasn't that entertaining, but garbage? how so?

I can't see Hopkins being KO'd, I just can't. I still think Nard pulls out a close, but controversial, decision in this fight. Think back, when was the last time Hopkins hit the canvas? ****, Roy in his prime couldn't drop him. The only fighter to ever drop him was Mercado and that was back in 1994.

Taylor, on the other hand, hasn't been tested yet. I think he'll rush Hopkins being all young, dumb, and full of cum and will win most of the early rounds but Hopkins, being the experienced fighter he is, will pull out the victory with a mid-round turn around and might even drop Taylor in the 5th or 6th before taking him the distance.

nah doo. the way I see it, Hopkins hasn't really faced anyone tough in his past recent years. Sure, he gets the W all the time, but against who? Jermain Taylor aint Eastman, Jermain aint Robert Allen. Jermain will put Hopkins in a tight spot and age will be a factor in this fight. Like I said, age shows up when a fighter is pit against a fighter who don't stop punchin. Taylor will stop Bernard in the late rounds. It won't surprise me neither if he stops him early.

"fighters get old waiting for hopkins to get old"

taylor is done. what is he doing to do when hes actually in the ring with a man his size? what does taylor have that hopkins doesnt do better. this kid is DONE.

Well, a lot of people picked Eastman in February... people are definitely waiting for Hop to hang it up for some reason, not sure why. Even if most of his fights are said to be boring, I can still appreciate the skills of the man, and his awesome d.

i agree with the last two, everyone is saying bhop is old and ****, but what about taylor? I think h e is too young and inexperienced for hopkins. EXPERIENCE is the key word.

I dont see how beating an Eastman gives us any idea where Hopkins is really at.

Taylor is bigger, stronger, and younger. He also is hungry i smell upset.

What is everyone's undercard forecasts/thoughts?

Witter may be prominently featured, and a slew of Golden Boy prospects, maybe Ponce De Leon fights again...

I'm not very familiar with GBP's top prospects, any chance we'll see big prospect vs. big prospect on this card?
