Did 12 Rds. with Hop prepare Taylor for Mr. Slick?
I doubt it...that was a step-slow Hop, and a step-old as well.
Winky is a Slinky and will whip taylor with his Pinky,
and Jermaine will feel pretty Stinky
.....having lost a UD in a style quite Rinky-Dinky. ::**
(now tell me I need to see a Shrinky!! ) :D

Re: Did 12 Rds. with Hop prepare Taylor for Mr. Slick?
No, because he lost both Hopkins fights ;D

Re: Did 12 Rds. with Hop prepare Taylor for Mr. Slick?

Love to see how on earth you have Hopkins 8 roundsin fight 1?
Think I gave him 2, 8, 10, 11 & 12 - from memory
Love this subject ;D

Re: Did 12 Rds. with Hop prepare Taylor for Mr. Slick?
I say that after fighting Hopkins, Taylor will now show no fear or hesitation and "should" blast right through Winky's protective forearms.

To be perfectly honest the first 8 were very hard to score, neither of then 'deserved' the rounds

Re: Did 12 Rds. with Hop prepare Taylor for Mr. Slick?
I give Taylor a shot against Wright...especially since it's so close to home...but I believe that Wright is gonna do a lot worse to Taylor than Hopkins did...a lot worse.
Rmember how hard & accurate WInky is with the jab.

the only thing that makes me question this at all is that taylor's got manny in his corner. i still pick wright to win, but i bet taylor will have much improved since we last saw him.

If Soliman and little shane penetrated and hurt Winky then Taylor will wobble Winky's knees.

Don't think Winky is capable of being that agressive, but it could be really embarassing for Taylor. I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaallllll y don't want it to being a huge fan of Jermaine but more than likely it will. The upside is Winky should be fighting Calzaghe if he wins!

Your 50/50.
Let's make you 51/50.
:coolclick:
That being said...I disagree. Winky can be aggressive. He's was pretty aggressive against Vargas. I think that when Winky's on point & pushed to the challenge (as in Tito, Vargas, Mosley) then he goes the fwock off...when he's fighting someone that he doesn't really see as worthy of a title defense (as in Frazier, Candello, & Soliman) he get's a little lack & it's all about the defense.
People act like he didn't do shat against Tito...I disagree & say that they should watch that fight again...& the Mosley fights.
Winky's the shat. Period. People may not like his style...but he get's the job done & not by luck of the draw either.

Oh yeah...& I don't want to see Winky Calzaghe ever materialize. I like both of them too much.
Also...I'd be hard pressed to pick a winner & I think that it's a step in the wrong direction for Calzaghe. Unify & then fight Tarver or Woods @ 175 & retire.

Re: Did 12 Rds. with Hop prepare Taylor for Mr. Slick?
I see what you're saying and he did take it to Vargas and Tito, but he wasn't coming at him with everything in the book accompanied by the facial expression of a mad scientist ;)

btw I cool click too just refuse to let anyone know about it

Here's my thing with Wright...the reason I dig him sooooo much...if you watch him fight...even against Soliman...as goofy as he was to match...Wright has a very VERY high connection rate. He doesn't waste a lot of punches but he lands a vast majority of what he throws with pretty much pin point accuaracy. Watch his fights again. He always remains calm too.
That says a lot to me.
Even when he was bleeding with Vargas, even though Vargas was HBO's GB2, even though he was the underdog...he was focused & sharpish & most people highly contest that decision.
We shouldn't even talk about the Tito fight...I mean...that's like kicking a man while he's down then urinating on him. ;D

Calzaghe looks like he's yelling at the ref: "Comon man!!! I'm tryin tuh knock his block off!!!"
;D Chriminy that fight was vicious.

Re: Did 12 Rds. with Hop prepare Taylor for Mr. Slick?
Wasn't it 24 rounds with B-Hop?
Jermain has the talent to beat anyone from 154 to 175....he's big, he's slick, he's fast, he's young. The kid is a winner and you're a damn fool if you don't side with him!

Re: Did 12 Rds. with Hop prepare Taylor for Mr. Slick?
I actually think Taylor is going to win this fight. Winky has never fought a true middleweight in his career, doesn't that count for something.. imo... Hopkins was a bigger challenge then Winky will be, due to his size and style.. Hopkins was old sure but he was still very crafty as is Wright, but Hopkins uses the ring ALOT more, and was more difficult to actuallly hit at all. I dont think thats going to be the case in this fight, Winky will block alot of shots but he wont make Taylor miss as much. Winky is stationary, he has mastered his guard very well, but I think Taylor is bigger and stronger then he thinks, and moreso then anyone he ever fought. Taylor has to work his jab all night, and with Steward in his corner I think he will do it.

Re: Did 12 Rds. with Hop prepare Taylor for Mr. Slick?
Winky has defense...Hopkins had a difficult style and POWER.
Winky is VERY talented and Taylor will have trouble with him but he'll win!

Sure he'll win...where are they fighting again? ;)

Re: Did 12 Rds. with Hop prepare Taylor for Mr. Slick?
First fight was a draw and Taylor won the second imo.
And those rounds definitely didn't hurt him but I still have my boy Winky winning an easy UD.

Personally...I think that Nard won the first one...Taylor the second one.

Big H do you remember B-hop beatting Jt from post to post in the last few rounds. SO B-hop won both fights because he fought his fight both times, and made jt do the same.
