    Taylor is like a slower, less talented, less confident Roy Jones. He's quick, but not like Jones was, talented, but not like Jones was, confident, but not even close to being like Jones was.

    Congratulations to Taylor for bringing the same luke warm feeling we have for the heavyweights, to the middleweight division.

      hopkins will beat taylor the second time they will face
      taylor's win was not convincing
      he won because hopkins lost it on his own fault

        I think Hopkins will start sooner in the next fight and dominate Taylor.

            Taylor made so many mistakes in that fight wide windmill punches, leaving himself open, pulling straight back... I was wondering why hopkins was not capitalizing as much as he could have.. he just gave away the first half of the fight!! And how could one of the judges give the last round to taylor, that's preposterous. Hopkins dominated rounds 9 to 12 easily. In a way though, hopkins deserves the loss for doing nothing in the first half of the fight.

              I think that Taylor/Hopkins showed that the fight is Hopkins' to win or lose. In his prime, Hopkins was in another league than Taylor and he just needs to dig a little deeper, at 40, to expose an over-rated figher.

              Taylor had nothing that bothered Hopkins. Hopkins looked as good at the end of the fight as he did at the beginning. What does that say about Taylor?

                That just says that Taylor wasn't landing as much punches as most people think.

                  I have a feeling B-Hop is going to win because he knows now that he waited too long. In the later rounds he was dominating Taylor. Hopkins will win in the 10th round by TKO.
