Hopkins/Taylor Your Picks

[Truth]

Bernard Hopkins beats Taylor clearly in a 12 round UD.

[Renegade]

I really don't know. I thought Hatton didn't have a chance against Zoo, but then I hadn't seen either of them. I figured Tyson... well, you know.
I have seen B-Hop, and I have seen Taylor, and I think the old Master will take the young hot shot to school, close the door, and administer a good, old fashioned ass-whuppin', like the teachers used to be allowed to do, way back in the day. Hell, that was SO far back in the day, you guys would call it the knight, or the Dark Ages...back with the dinosaurs.
B-Hop by SD, just cause some judge is gonna be lookin' sideways.

taylor by late KO

hopkins dont fight like no champ so he dont deserve to be and taylor is the best now

[urdaddyinAZ]

I like Taylor by split decision.....I think he'll land the bigger shots in the fight, but I do also see it as a totally boring fight.

It's all about WINNING, not personal opinion. If Taylor beats the Champ, THEN, and only then, can he be called the best!

I pick hopkins by decision or late stoppage what are your thoughts?

I totally agree. I think Hopkins has too much knowledge & knows too many "tricks" for the kid.

man... have you watched hopkins last several fights? his stalking one punch at a time slow plodding along style that worked against a smaller trinidad, delahoya, eastman types won't cut it against a bigger, more powerfull, younger,speedster taylor.

i don't(hope) think taylor will be overcome by hopkins greatness( even tho hopkins greatness has been made up fighting many inferior opponents). this taylor is bigger, stronger and faster than anyone hopkins has fought in years.


hopkins is going to have to have his heart in this one to win and i don't see it.i don't see him having anything extra to pull out of the hat to win this one, and i hate mentioning it but his age, even tho he's a fresh ..no wars..middleweight champion who has had the luxury of fighting in a week division,he's going to have a chance to fight against a real contender in taylor.

Well Hopkins opposition sparkles compared to Taylors' ... including Taylors' challenge coming up. He's younger, but not better.

We'll see if Hopkins, experience and savvy can stave off Father Time one more time instead of providing all the Hopkins haters who've been incorrectly doomsaying him for the last 5 years with sudden credibility.

Someone's got to hate, why not them?

your quote "well hopkins opposition sparkles compared to taylors"... thats a bonefied fact. and the up and comer taylor has been groomed along with what some think fit to style fights.but i'm no doomsaying hopkins hater. i just think that taylor has so much more of everything to beat hopkins than hopkins has seen in years.

just hope taylor doesn't get phych'd out by hopkins greatness in later rounds.
