    Gonna pick Taylor to win this fight. He's got the right physical attributes, strength, quickness in both hands and upper torso movement. I see Jermain Taylor as a taller version of Mayweather.

    Don't get me wrong, I like Bernard Hopkins. I think he's one of the best tactical fighters out there. And by tactical, depending on what type of opponent he faces, his style will either be entertaining or downright boring. But he wins. And that's all that matters.

    The Taylor/Hopkins fight will be a close one. Coz B-Hop can be a dirty fighter.

      Manny Steward was the one that pulled Vivian Harris out of the Ricky Hatton match-up.

      The reason using his words: "It's a fight I don't think Vivian can win".

        Well, right now, I'm still picking Hopkins by a SD or MD. I don't think it will be unanimous. I doubt Hopkins will KO Taylor and Nard has too much of a beard to be KO'd himself. I think it's a Pick'em fight with the champ coming out on top of a dubious decision. We'll see.

          My thoughts exactly. I've said the exact thing before but for for some reason I've been deemed crazy for thinking that way. The only way Taylor can lose is if he loses his compsure if he doesn't land like he wants to. Taylor By UD

              steward was pretty much dead on in his assessment of hatton/tsyzu, will he be right again? I agree with alot of stewards opinions on the fight and i'm picking taylor as well...
              He also picked Harris over Maussa....What's your point?

                he picked wright over trinidad before the fight, mostly based on how trinidad was acting before the fight, he said it reminded him of hopkins vs trinidad.

                    is it stewards fault that his fighter didint listen to him? ive been watching steward for a very long time, i have never seen him so angry in the corner, ever.
