    Of course....if you look at in the sense that: Hopkins is an aging fighter then yes......Taylor does look imposing. My only rebuttle is this:

    Hopkins has been taking it easy with his last few opponents....setting them up, and not throwing Haymakers all over the ring. Like they talked about....its a microcosm of him as a whole. he waits....and is patient. That can be the said for his actual MANAGEMENT in fighting others. He does not have the chance to be patient with Taylor, and he knows that. He is going to have to.....and WILL test Taylor's metal. This fight weighs much heavier on Taylor than it does Hopkins IMO.

    People are saying stuff like: "What is Nard gonna do? How will he overcome time?. Im only saying, what is Taylor going to do...how is he going to overcome his general lack of serious opposition, him fighting the best inside and outside fighter he has ever faced, and generally someone who doesnt give a ****.

    This fight is compelling because it is a chance for Hopkins to show people how mean he really is in the ring. Alot of these boxing newbies talk about Hopkins being a pure boxer....who runs from everyone he fights. I laugh at that ****. I think he is going to go toe to toe and demolish the green fighter in 9 rounds. Taylor has never faced someone who was not scared of him. He will now face someone who fits this bill.
    Firstly, a gentle correction. If Taylor was a knife maker, BH could very well test his metal. However, the word in this contaxt, is mettle!

    Secondly...If Taylor throws caution to the wind and fights as he has been doing up to this point, he will beat up BH.

    Either that, or Hopkins really is as good as the hype!

      A gentle suggestion. Watch the sport of boxing.

        Hopkins is going to dismantle Taylor. All Taylor has going for him is a jab but people need to wake up and realize that Hopkins has a very good jab himself. His right hand will bust Taylor up as well.

          This is tough, but until someone proves othewise, Hopkins is still king of this weight class so I can't bet aginst him.

          I think Hopkins is getting up there and Taylor will be great for years to come...

          I give the edge to the crafty veteran...though not by much.

            Like Hopkins said.."I'm not gonna lose to a fighter from Arkansas...I'm a philly fighter."
