The Joppy fight is a joke, this guy was retired a couple months ago! I had a glimmer of hope for Taylor when I heard Sturm and Eastman's names casually being tossed around- but I guess his people are taking the safe road once again. Bottom line: Is Joppy a step up in competition for Jermain? Yes. Is a Taylor victory going to prove to us that Jermain should be mentioned as one of the top three or four guys at middleweight? Definitally not!Comment

Only one guy can hang with Taylor at 160 and thats Hopkins.
Hopkins will damage that young man.Comment
