Will Taylor Take Hopkins?

[IwatchBoxing]

yeah tito would beat taylor even though i hate both, but Hopkins vs. tito is not to far, since don king's money got tito up to #1 on the wbc middleweight ranking

I'm a fan of both Tito and Hopkins and for either win or lose this would be the fight for their careers...

-tito (even old or shot tito would)- ko's taylor
-hopkins outclasses taylor

I think Hopkins would win too, just not straight-ahead. Hopkins would move around and try not to trade very much with Taylor and end up getting a majoprity decision. As for Tito, we need to wait and see him fight someone who is not a freakin pineada.

tayor looked pretty scared and amatuerish when joppy was aggresive at the begining of the fight
he put his hands up to block a scared fighter gettin in the ring for the first time
hes open for alot of shots hopkins could see and hit easily

hes just not ready for hopkins

Actually, the beginning of the fight is the reason why Joppy turned the tables and started to act like a baby. Didn't you see Taylor level him when they were actually fighting?

ya he dropped him in the 5th and dats when **** changed
but in the like 1st or 2nd jermain was blocken punches like a true first timer

the sad part is he really believes that he was tested but a true legit middleweight

I don't know about that one. I know Hopkins is your boy and Taylor is a fighter you are miles away from defending, but I think all of the boos coming out of Little Rock that night gave Jermaine a hint that Joppy was just being a *****.

Will Taylor Take Hopkins?

Taylor is good, but I don't think he is ready for Hopkins yet. Taylor is fast but he makes a lot of mistakes defensively and hopkins will capitalize on them. Taylor still needs to fight some of the top guys in the division before taking on hopkins. I would like to see Taylor against Allen before talking about him and hopkins.

Even though I would predict a Hopkins victory over Taylor, I remember reading posts that said Taylor needs to beat someone like Eastman before he gets in the ring with Hopkins. Well he did and he won. I think that he'll never get any recognition until he actually fights Hopkins, which probably never will happen due not only to Taylor padding his record but also Hopkins not really desiring this fight. Hell, I'd be surprised if Hopkins fights Tito. He knew De La Hoya would be pretty easy since he is a welterweight and before that he fought Joppy, who after watching him last Saturday, shouldn't even be in boxing.
