Hopkins vs Taylor at lightheavy weight

[Mishra100]

Lets say Taylor moves up in weight in his next fight and goes after Hopkins's lightheavy weight title. Who wins this fight?

I think this is the first(or one of the first) battles that could go to 5 fights to determine a final winner.

hopkins was untouchable at 175 in his fight with tarver. and his fights with taylor were very close.

no way would taylor even land a punch on hopkins at LHW.

[realheavyhands]

taylor only landed 1 punch in the first fight

[STEELHEAD]

i'm thinking that taylor is sort of slow in the head and wonder if he'll ever improve his boxing skills.but in a rubbermatch with hopkins at a higher weight i lean towards taylor at least not fighting hopkins fight and with the added bulk fights a dumb rough fight and wins.
i thought tarver didnt show up in the hopkins fight.and should of made it closer.

[realheavyhands]

hes semi slow in the head but thats not what going to stop his skills. its that lean forward style.. hes not a text book stand up boxer like the greats .. and there is no way his style could change to that at this stage in his career

[MAXWELL_]

there's several bad habits in his boxing style he hasnt been able to change.
he pissed off manny so bad in last winkey fight for not listening to him that in post fight interview ,i think on pedros show, manny talked derogitory about taylor. and i think he said he didnt want to train taylor any more.

[THE REAL NINJA]

Does Hop even hold the title still ?

[kg21mvp]

theres no point in making this fight and b-hop is retired

he whooped his ass the first time, 2nd time wuz closer, the 3rd time at light heavy would b a murder....Taylor just doesnt have the smartz to truly beat Hop....put the fight on Showtime the first 2 times and bet they would've came out in favor of Hopkins, but hey, let HBO do what they feel necessary, they r only hurten themselves with tactics like that
