I've nver understood how people can feel Hopkins won either fight against Taylor. He started too late in both fights. In the first fight even if you didn't score it as such yourself you would have to concede that of the first 8 rounds there was not a single round you could conclusively score for Hopkins. I had Taylor winning 6 of the first 8 with one even, Hop just didn't show anything in those rounds.
Even the later rounds don't look nearly as one sided in Hopkins favour on the second and third viewings.
The second fight just wasn't controversial at all, Taylor won a close decision.
Against Winky it was close, but Winky only has himself to blame by deciding to give the last to Taylor in a fight where Taylor could see out of only one eye.
If Winky had of come out and won the 12th round he would have won the fight. He chose to run and paid the consequences.
I like Jermain, I do think he's too raw however right now. I can't see anyone beating him at 160, but if and when he moves upto 168 where the real talents are right now I'd see him struggling to keep his 0.
Calzaghe, Kessler, Bute, Andrade, Green, all would give him a tough fight, much better than the likes of Wright, Abraham, Ouma, Sturm, Quartey etc.
