and Hopkins had mo experience than Jermain and Jermain beat him........
I thought that Hopkins won both fights but thats neither here nor there. U also have to take into account Hopkin's old age. Hopkins landed the crisper more telling shots in both fights.

Fights are won in rounds won, not MO crisper shots. LOL........
"Wright, a crafty defensive wizard, would be seriously outgunned against the younger and more powerful Jermain Taylor. Hopkins, was regarded by many in the business as a boxing chessmaster and he was still handled by Taylor in two meetings. Hopkins hit hard enough to earn the respect of Taylor. Wright has been unable to score a knockout since 2002. Even against smaller opposition such as Shane Mosley, Wright’s best punches did little damage."
Who's the clown(Rozenberg?) on the front page of BScene that wrote this garbage?

The rounds that some gave to Taylor, I gave to B-Hop. If u notice, and look closely, alot of Taylor's quick agressive flurries completely missed or only a few shots landed. he was the agressor but I did not think that it was effective agressiveness.

Taylor throws a great shoe-shine punch doesn't he? Must of read alot of Leonard books.
Even though Taylor beat Hopkins, I don't really consider him a champion. From my point of view, Taylor has to take away the belt from the champ. Otherwise you retain the title. I don't think he did that well enough to beat Hopkins. I haven't seen the second fight yet bet I heard it's more of the same.
It seems that Hopkins beat himself, and Taylor just added a few punches to win.
Yer, there's no doubt that when Taylor punches it looks better because he is the younger stronger guy.
Hopkins did a great job for a 40 year old regardless of what anyone says, and there are many who feel he won this fight and we all know the 1st fight was quite controversial as well.
