"24-KARAT" ROLD ON YOUTH, REDEMPTION, AND DAMN LIES!
HOPKINS-TAYLOR THE BEST OF ALL CLICHES!
The great thing about a great cliche' is the great way it just rolls off your tongue; it can be applied when nothing else will illuminate a sentence. The World middleweight championship bout scheduled for this Saturday night has produced, and will produce by Sunday morning, so many columns riddled with cliches that readers might feel that they have seen the death of all unique writing. This is billed as "old lion versus young lion"; it is "the aging warrior in his last stand"; it is "the challenger biting off more than he can chew"; a real "pick-em" fight. The only thing that makes all of this bearable, the only thing that ever makes cliches bearable, is the hint of truth embedded in it all...and the truth is? The truth is that even with the plainest of language to describe it, champion Bernard Hopkins (46-2-1, 32 KO's) versus Jermain Taylor (23-0, 17 KO's) is the most intriguing match-up of 2005.
