    that's pretty funny!! cause i could swear tito did exactly what you are telling taylor to do, bring the fight to hopkins. if he brings the fight taylor gets beat down and knocked out, if he tries to box he will get countered by the best in the biz for 12 rounds and lose a ud. either way the belts are staying with B-hop

      For starters Taylor just started fighting Middleweights and he hasn't fought a good one either in his last fight (Edouard). Hopkins comes in very heavy during fight time so Taylor will have a size advantage, but not as much as he's use to having Tyalor also showed in several of his previous fights that he can't handle a jab and Hopkins has a very stiff one (Lol stiff one..) what he uses to set up basically everything else he does. Taylor is a good combination puncher at time, but he tends to come in with his head he we throws those combos. If we can see a good Hopkins come into the ring on July 16th, Hopkins will outbox him, frustrate him, and do more and more damage to him as the fight goes on. If Hopkins doesn't put him on his back, which I think he can, his corner will eventually retire him. Hopkins power isn't crazy power, but it's enough to make any fighter in that division respect him..he also has good accuracy with his punches.

      P.S. No offense taken. Just stating your point. I can understand that.

      P.P.S. As far as the Toney will KO Vitali, he will. He's going to punish him to the body, until he can take no more.


      Hopkins vs. Taylor - Just a classic case of one fighter trying to run before he walk. Why he's trying to **** with the big dogs? I don't know..
      Good points all around jack. I think Taylor could beat any fighter Hopkins has faced except maybe Trinidad. I know he hasn't fought anyone like Hopkins at this point in his career, but the one's he has fought he dominated. If Eastman can go the distance with Hopkins, I think Taylor could put up a good fight considering how I believe Taylor would likely KO Eastman.

      As For Toney, I'll have to see it to believe it. Pounding on Ruiz's body all night isn't very convincing IMO.

          Tito is one dimensional Taylor is not that and Taylor is bigger than Tito i dont think Hopkins has the power to hurt Taylor.

              Amen to that. He's had 23 or so fights, and I haven't seen anything that makes me want to go bet the farm on him. How did he get to become the heir apparent all of a sudden? It was like he was just there one day.

              I guess he's alright, but Hopkins will probably school him.

              Just for the record, I think Trinidad would KO him. You have to have savvy and skills to keep that Puerto Rican machine off of you. That's why Hopkins beat him so easily. But if you don't, you're dead. He will catch you.

              But that's just my opinon.

                  Bernard Hopkins is one of the greatest fighters of all time, he's also in my top 10 p4p of all time.

                  And he will retire, with the belts.
