    im going to disagree right there with you my friend, taylor isnt at the same level as Hopkins, Hopkins will break taylor down into a decision we all know Hopkins is to smart for a rookie like taylor

      I would have agreed with you if you had said at the end of next year. Taylor isn't ready for someone like Hopkins. Hop is still too crafty and rugged. I'd love to see Taylor's face when Hop starts hitting him on the hips in a clinch. -->

      If Taylor convincingly beats Soliman and Hop shows clear signs of getting too old...then I might begin to think Taylor has more of a feasible chance to do it this year. Taylor certainly has the skills and youth to do it...but not until he gets two more or so good fights against real, dangerous middles under his belt.

        Taylor is hype, I belive the honor of beating Hopkins this or next year is Trinidad's.

              Well this year I would not count on Taylor to take BH.
              As for tito I think the same scenario with BH would occur as in 2001...I'd love to watch a rematch anyway!!

                Your still on that EA curse thing huh? Heres the thing though, if you believe in the curse it might not come into effect until after the Hopkins - Eastman fight because the fight is in (correct me if im wrong) Feb. The game Fight Night Round 2 doesn't come out untill March. So if anything hopkins will lose in the fight after eastan, most likely to Trinidad.

                  It's never failed, Eastman is a hard hitter and has a solid chin (not that bernard is a ko artist or anything) I dont really care for this fight one way or another, since it should have been made 2 years ago..But im not going to be flipping out if an upset occurs or if Bernard completely destroys eastman (because that is what is supposed to happen)

                  It's a fight im not to estatic over and I am going with the underdog on this one.

                    Hopkins never loses alot of Rounds. For Eastman to beat Hopkins by decision it's going to have to be a very one-sided match, and even then they'll still make it look closer than it really was. I don't think the judges are going to change champs on some 7-5 rounds fight in favor of Eastman..
