on the contrary.... Hopkins didn't impress either. You don't really make any sense to me.. I mean Winky beat up a retired version of Tito, Hopkins stopped the prime version! Compare Hopkins v Tito and
Hopkins v Taylor II how you manage to figure Tito would KO Taylor from the evidence at hand dumbfounds me?
A "retired" version of Tito??
The same guy that knocked out Mayorga? How old was Tito? I think he's still fairly young.
Plus, let's not forget that styles make fights. I'm saying that Tito would probably be too rough and skillful for Taylor. Tito's left hook could catch Taylor more, the same way that Taylor got hit with a lot of shots well-planted by Hopkins when he definitely should not have been awarded the win in the first fight!
Taylor just looked more "aggressive" against Hopkins. That's all. But, when I watched the fight a second time, I saw that even though Hopkins did throw a limited amount of punches (especially counterpunches) on Taylor, Jermain was eating some of those punches clearly in the face, getting schooled.
Now, Tito hits hard! Hopkins was able to beat Tito because of his great skill. Does Taylor have the same skill? No, at least not yet. Taylor is aggressive, with a stiff jab, and can come forward well. I give him that.
