Hopkins definitely has mo experience than Jermaine!Originally posted by restless_438The only problem is Hopkins will fight just that much smarter than Jermaine.
but if Hopkins is perfect he WOULNT HAVE fought Tayler that late in ta 1st fight. It's safe to say that, Tayler kinda outsmarted ta smarta fighta last July. IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN!Comment

yeah, don't mistake my comments.. no one is perfect, but i think on top of everything else going for Hopkins in this fight, he has the determination and will to take back his titles.. i think he feels like his legacy in boxing depends on this rematch, that can only boost someone's motivation.Originally posted by Manny_PHopkins definitely has mo experience than Jermaine!

ta way I see it, Hopkins is yappin too much. HE CANNOT KO Jermain plain and simple. He doesn't have enough punch output to do it and he don't have enough POP on his punches ta way he used to. if he's gonna win, it'll be decision and TRUST ME it won't even be a clear cut UD. Taylor is too fast, too talented, too big, and too determined to be dominated by a 40 yr old Hopkins.
If what Taylor says is true in which he has no respect fo Hop no mo, then yea I believe that he can knock Hopkins out. In ta 1st fight, I did mention that Jermain woulnt KO Hop cuz he respects him too much. Now, I think he'll do it. Ta fact that Jermain really din't connect clean ta first time to be assessed on HOW WELL HOP can take Tayler's punch CONVINCES MO!!! If Taylor lands clean consecutively, it's LIGHTS OUT fo Bernard.Comment

If Taylor tries to show no respect for Hopkins in the ring it'll work into Hopkins hands, not the other way around. Hopkins defense and inside ability is superb. If Taylor thinks he can get in there and get rough and dirty he's sadly mistaken. Taylor was hurt once or twice in the first fight and in general took much more punishment. Hopkins, on the other hand, didn't appear to be hurt at all and wasn't hurt even once the entire fight.
I'm glad you mention that Taylor didn't really connect well in the first fight. So why do you assume he'll somehow magically get the ability to land numerous power shots on Hopkins when he couldn't land a single one in the first fight? Hopkins chin is solid, even if he is 40.Comment

Hopkins chin is quite untested IMO. He's defense is so good that he barely got tagged hard in his whole carreer. Adding ta fact that he ALWAYS FIGHT LILTTE GUYS that has no KO threat to him. Tayler is a natural big middleweight and I see no otha current middleweight right now than can drop and KO Hopkins aside from Taylor.Originally posted by Dirt E GomezIf Taylor tries to show no respect for Hopkins in the ring it'll work into Hopkins hands, not the other way around.
