Well. As a man, when you have "other" motivation outside of the task at hand, you kick it up a gear and the bad blood between Taylors' promoter DiBella and Bhop is just plain ugly.

Bhop is trying to destroy DiBella and put Taylor out in the process.....lol

BTW, a two-part question was asked to BHop by Jason Gonzales and the second question was "what are your plans for the immediate future?" and His response was, �After executing Jermain Taylor, I will move up to 175 to fight Glen Johnson"....So no interest in Winky, you guys were right....

Where did you get this info?

I think Taylor would beat Hopkins by stoppage. I think Hopkins would beat Winky on points.

I don't see Bernard going to Light HW. That's crazy!
I don't think it will ever come to that.

It is possible but if Bernard takes his chances you can see his taking it at a comfort zone by facing Johnson. Still nonetheless I would prefer Hopkins to stay at 160 for the remainder of his career, moving up to 175 and beating Johnson still wouldnt give him the respect he thinks he will get. His legacy is about as solid as it is going to get. I see why though, if he thrashes Taylor and then moves up to 175 and beats the undisputed champion their. That is quite an accomplishment.

I would still prefer him to stay at 160, I wouldnt even want to see Hopkins at 168. Adding the additional weight at his age and stage of his career could really do some damage, no matter how great of shape he thinks he is in.

Hopkins is going to get koed. Taylor is not talking he is training his ass off and he will win. He says on ********** how everyone Hopkins fights lets him get into their head, he says he doesnt care what Hopkins does or has to say. Taylor will be the new king.

he stopped glen johnson at 160 , maybe he thinks he has his number , no matter the weight.

Taylor and Hopkins are 2 world class champions who have my respect, I expect the best out of both of these fighters. Both have something to prove and it will make it a great fight, I expect it to be very tactical. I am a bit concerned for Taylor as his only real step up is Joppy and he hasnt dealt with the things Hopkins will do in the ring to him. Taylor might be a little green in that department, he hasnt seen all of the tricks. Taylor has a strong jab and if he can keep to that he could beat Hopkins.

If Taylor loses it wont hurt him much and he will just get thrown right back into a title match later down the road, the only person and can damage is Hopkins. I hope he trains his ass off.
