    I don't think Wright would be considered a "small" guy. Even though he just moved up, he is obviously a true Middleweight and should command respect as such. I agree with your points about his legacy,etc..I just don't like the styles matchup for him against Tarver.
    I don't either, so maybe Johnson wins, if not, it's gonna be looong night for B-Hop. A TRUE measure of greatness if he can pull it off. If not, his legacy at middleweight is secure.

      Hopkins should end his career beating Taylor, then fighting Wright, then the winner of Johnson/Tarver. I just don't think that the winner of Johnson/Tarver is going to wait until January to fight Hopkins.

        Wink is a nobody. Hopkins should go to lt heavy. If he wins, then Wink can man up and face him there.

        This is Jones-Tarver all over again. Tarver should have came up to hw to face Jones, not the other way around.

            Guys don't worry bout Tarver or Glen, Taylor is going to take care of Nard...Once Taylor beats the **** out of Nard, it will set up a fight between Wright-Taylor..

              What has Taylor done to show he can beat Hopkins?

                You have never seen him fight?...He has faster hands than Nard, better jab than Nard, seems to have more power than Nard, and is YOUNGER...

                  Yes, I saw him fight Bunema, Marquez, Joppy and Edouard...
                  Your prolly judging him on his fights with Bunema n Marquez who he destroyed showing his jab..

                  When he fough Joppy and Marquez, that jab was gone...He didn't look good with it like he did against blown up welterweights..

                  He got power, yes...
                  When I first saw him fight against Bunema and Marquez I said this guy is the real deal..

                  I saw him step up his competition a little bit and he didnt look great...especially against Edouard who seemed to hurt Taylor at times and the fight was even when Taylor stopped it...

                  If you think Taylor wins cuz of his power...
                  Then get ready to lose a few more million points..

                    You are obviously a YOUNG man. Take it from an OLD man, "Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill." One of my all-time favorite bumper stickers.
