    No friend I haven't posted this topic before I said "as I have posted in a similar topic."

    Anyway personally it would be best for him to retire. He has already contributed greatly to the sport.

      b-hop turn the clock back 5 years and he knocks taylor out. there is a 13 or 14 year age difference. i am 18 years younger than my ex-wife. i am still handsome, wealthy and in good shape. but she kicked my ass and left me for a younger man with less than i have. you can't beat youth put it perspective. b-hop is a better fighter i think he won the 1st fight and taylor held enough to win the 2nd.

        I picked he can still beat top comp because he could but he should do the latter and honor his mommas wishes.......by no means did Taylor show me much more than he is good and can survive but a relentless puncher like he will end up facing after he is outboxed by Winky like Lacy or a number of SMWs who are up and coming Taylor may not have the great career we hoped for but who knows.

          i think he should hang them up he beat alot of good fighters... i thought the both decison losts where accurate... i mean he is a good fighter and all but its time...hopefully he will come with an immpresive win over roy jones on march then i would keep my mouth shut either way he should retire

            I had Hopkins winning both fights, he outlanded Taylor in both of bouts. Taylor landed more jabs and threw more punchs but was still outlanded overall and in power punches.plus Taylor never landed a signifcant punch in either fight.

            I can't remeber exactly but I think I had the first fight 116-114 Hopkins and the second was 115-113 Hopkins.

            Either way Hopkins wasn't even close to being beat up in those fights and was more than Taylor could really handle. taylor himself said that he was hard to hit cleanly and that he has mre learning to do. Hopkins got the **** end of the stick basically.

            Hopkins is still good but he isnt a crowd pleasing fighter, so he is always being over analysed. but whatever, he is still good and I'm picking him to beat Jones march 11th.....

              first, you really should take advantage of the search feature here at the forum, also the options in the poll are pretty broad. Taylor really hasn't exceptionally proven himself yet to deserve alot of credit, and Bernard Hopkin's does seem to be showing a few slight signs of aging, however this is discussed, in detail, in the 100 other threads about the matchup.
              Hey, I just have a question about your signature.

              1. Where's Mayorga and DLH
              2. How can you think Raheem will score a tko if you don't even know who he is fighting yet?
