    give me a break, this argument is ****** and annoying
    taylor won the fight, bottom line
    right now, hopkins is saying that the fight should have been a draw, and to me, thats proof enough that he lost.
    argument DONE

        Greatest, you're wrong. While their opinions are that Hopkins won the fight, the fact is is that Taylor won the fight. So by making a list which is meant to be viewed as opinions based soley on facts, to look legitimate they can not have Hopkins above Taylor despite the fact they might want to have him higher.

          how dare you question their writing skills when you yourself have never written for Ring. Isn't that how it works..you can only criticize and call names if you've done it?

            I don't blame Tha_Greatest fo sayin things like that.

            I mean how many boxing sources and sites tsill have Hopkins #1 P4P EVEN AFTA LOSING to Taylor? They thought Hopkins won, so they kept him #1.

                  But Greatest...I think we have a bet...all my pts vs all your pts on the Hopkins-Taylor fight? You prob have more pts tha me though but I should build more up by the time the fight rolls around. I just lost a lot on Roy.
                  man super you'd be making a mistake betting greatest. he's an ******* tongue ****in punk. he'll never pay up. just listen to the way he jabbers.the kids sick.

                  he has several other user names and debates himself and is farther out than mckay.

                    The Ring wont break its rules to satisfy its writers opinions. And thats all calling Hopkins the winner of anything to do with that fight is. The FACT is...he lost. All of your OPINIONS about it....dont change a thing. The whole world, you, and ring magazine...all saying he won....doesnt make make him the winner. If you dont believe me....look it up. Just type in..Current Middleweight Champ of the world and read the name. Its not gonna say Hopkins. No matter what your opinion of him.

                      Actually if you search google "Current Middleweight Champ of the world" the 7th thing says "Hell, the current World Middleweight Champion, Bernard Hopkins has had..."

                      Anyway there is no way he is lb for lb best in the world. He just gave up a decision to a green boy. lb for lb best dont do that... And no way in hell did taylor look like the best lb for lb either.
