Hopkins/Taylor Your Picks

[MAXWELL_]

i've read hopkins say " its becomeing hard to get up at 5 in the morning and jog 5 miles when i'm wearing a rolex".

man he better have his head in this one. taylor is hungryer,faster, bigger, and has power more than anyone he's fought in years.
that stalking, one punch at a time dimenour he's been using the last several fights isnt going to be enough in this one.


and that big wup di doo hopkins made about a rematch clause in negotiations with taylors team. i don't know. i may be sort of reading between the lines but is hopkins age becoming a bigger factor?

I dont even know if Taylor wont be the betting favorite. I have a feeling he might be, at the worst the odds might be an even 1-1. I at least predict Taylor to win in convincing fashion.

I agree. Taylor will beat B Hop

The same could be said about Taylor also. How will he respond to Hopkins jab? I see the righthand lead landing on Taylor at will.

Hopkins by decision. Taylor doesn't respond to pressure too well so maybe Hopkins could pressure Taylor a bit. I don't see that happening but it could be something Hopkins might do.

How do you know Taylor doesnt respond to pressure? He hasnt really been pressured his whole career.

Edouard
Marquez
Cuevaz

are the only guys to really put pressure on him and while Marquez showed Taylor was a bit green it is nothing to squak about. Taylor has never really faced a strong jab nor has Hopkins and both will be landing leather on each other and it will come down to who is quicker.

Yeah and get back to telling about how OKine is the next big thing at Heavyweight. Taylor is going to destroy Hopkins.

Yeah and tell about how you talked all kinds of smack on the board about Gatti vs Mayweather but backed out of our bet? What is with the hate? You picked Taylor to win as did I.

If you got beef with me lets cook it and get it over with.

Everytime a fighter has put any kind of pressure on him all he does is back up straight where he can be hit with the righthand. Taylor has been open for the righthand even when he's not backing up. Taylor's righthand itself can be seen coming a mile away the way he ****s it back before throwing it. The quick sneak righthand lead by Hopkins will kill Taylor like it has every other opponent in my opinion.

Taylor is the quicker of the two and I believe this fight will come down to who is faster. Hopkins isnt really a heavy hitter and he will have to break down Taylor. I dont think power will be a factor but none the less who can get to who quicker. Each fighter has there noticeable flaws and I accept your point.

i was wrong in my picking of abby to pull the upset over cotto, but i still think taylor is gonna win and make the upset of the year...
