yeah i belive he can, Hopkins may have the experience but Taylor is a great boxer with a lot fkills and he has youth, hunger for the title, hes the total package. Should be good fight, im routing for Taylor

ur thoughts....

If B-Hop starts to show some signs of aging (slower fists & reflexes, poor foot movement, etc) then Taylor has a great chance, if B-Hop continues to improve and stay sharp, then Taylor will lose 11 outta 12 rounds or so and Bernard will remain the 160 pound king

you guys summed it up.

7-4-1 Hopkins by fairly close decision.

Hopkins has faced a lot of good fighters...Taylor hasn't. Case closed...

If Taylor gets mind-****ed by Hopkins he'lllose a one-sided decision....If he manages to stay cool and confident he has a good chance....I see Hopkins winning a boring fight though.

I think it might be a very difficult fight for taylor but i will be hoping he wins. I guess we will see who wins.

"mind-****ed" might be the best all-time description I've ever heard on this site, great use of your words my brother

and it makes sense, B-Hop definitely mind-****ed Tito, just like the Prince used to do to all of his opponents, until he ran into Marco who didn't speak English at the time and didn't understand his insults

I think Hopkins will win this one quite easily...

If there's one thing I know about Bernard Hopkins, it's that he only takes fights he KNOWS he can win.

Hence the reason he won't fight Calzaghe/Wright.

Hopkins ain't ******, he'll have done his homework on this boy and will drag out a UD.
