    Does Hopkins need Bouie Fisher?

    ESPN is reporting that Bouie won't be in Hopkins' corner because his wife is sick and will be with his wife. The question is...does Hopkins need Bouie or is Hopkins already prepared in techniques and strategies fighting the young hungry Jermain Taylor?

    Bouie Fisher was just there to tell him to pop the jab and squeeze the water bottle. The guy seemed like a genuinely nice guy but Hopkins only needs himself.

        ..there was no doubt in my mind that this was gonna get brought up eventually on here.. absolutely not, it won't affect his performance, Hopkins stated it was strickly about his health and that he will dedicate this fight to Fisher.

          If Taylor loses, he's too green, if Hopkins loses he didn't have his trainer.

            Bouie Fisher has already done all he can for Hopkins. Hops was a finished product a couple of years back.

            It would be great if Bouie was in his corner like the rest of his fights but it's not to be. Hopkins is a pro's pro and I'm sure he'll put in a good performance.

                  He doesn't need him, a fighter like Bernard knows what he needs to do.

                    no it ain't, he's already been ****ed by the "fight night curse", and lost his titles, the worst that can happen now is he gets decisioned again, but it won't happen, this time Hops will knock Taylor out
