    The fight that makes the most sense for Bernard Hopkins is a 3rd fight with Taylor

    I mean both were very close and since I don't see a Dawson fight happening, why not? I feel there is nothing wrong with Taylor's boxing skills, just his punch resistance has went down. Hopkins doesn't have KO power anymore IMO so Taylor wouldn't have to worry about taking serious punishment. The worst case scenario for either is getting outboxed, so again neither will take alot of punishment from the other.

      Taylor needs to stay retired imo. He suffered memory loss and a concussion after that Abraham ko, its definately time for him to leave the boxing game.

        No thanks.

        I think the best thing for Hopkins is retirement.

          I agree.... and Taylor probably lost a step mentally... once u get knocked out its hard to recover and in his case he got KO'd back to back in the same fashion

            Anybody advocating this match up needs to get their head on straight. It's impossible for Hopkins to be in an entertaining fight these days when he has the ability to bully his opponent be taken away from him.

              I don't think so. nobody wants to see bhop/JT III. I think a better fight for bhop is against toney at HW.
