How could Jermain Taylor beat Hopkins twice??

[oside4life]

hopkins got robbed in the first fight and the second fight could have gone either way cause in that fight he didn't do much and taylor didn't do much.

It doesn't make any sense when you see how good Hopkins looks nowadays.

Whether you agree with the judges that Taylor won or not. Taylor won and Hopkins failed to impress. Hop looked quite slow and didn't throw all that many punches. But since those losses he has looked spectacular in several fights. My first thought was this version of Hopkins would punish and dominate Taylor....but maybe it was something about Taylor's style of boxing that Hopkins just couldn't figure out.

It's simple he was fighting drained and once he got up in age it became harder to shed those few pounds. Thus, he didn't have the energy that he has at 175.

Jermain Taylor was really good. Far better than anyone gives him credit for.

i thought he(taylor) won the second. first could have gone either way. but i know i scored the fight for Winky when he and Hopkins fought but winky got robbed

[ronniejunior]

bhop was robbed both in both taylor fights.....

Because Taylor outboxed Hopkins, had the power to trouble him and lasted 12 rounds.

Why are people getting all crazy? he beat Pascal close who Froch already dominated.. props for doing it at his age. But lets not act like Pascal is some great

pascal has improved greatly since then not to mention the froch fight was pretty close as well

unless bhop took pascal's soul he is still #2 at LHW

taylor was really good before until he got knocked out by Pavlik, then he went downhill from then on.

B-Hop lost his motivation after all the wins.

popkins wasnt taking his juice at that time, its a possibility or taylor was just a good fighter in him prime
