Would the Jermain Taylor that beat Hopkins have lost last night?

[rjj tszyu]

wow... abraham has become so fucking overrated. even a prime chris eubank would make a monkey out of abraham. can you imagine how many uppercuts eubank would land on abraham?

First of all Eubank in his prime was another class operator, but AA has an awkward style that seems hard to work out and he has carried all his power up with him, all in all making him a very dangerous fighter!

no... he'd be a fucking sitting duck for a smooth counterpuncher like eubank. jermain taylor was so terrified of getting hit, he abandoned counterpunching altogether.

eubank would be landing powershots from all angles and abraham's face would be a disgusting mess at the end of the fight.

No I disagree. I think it would be a close fight. Not much to guage Eubank on really he fought the best Europe had to offer and Malinga but never ventured into the likes of Roy Jones, Julian Jackson, James Toney, Mike McCallum, Bernard Hopkins and G-Man so at world class Eubanks resume falls a bit short. With the Super six at least we'll see AA in with other class guys which Taylor was don't forget. He did beat Hopkins twice and no matter what excuses are made Hopkins never figured Taylor out properly in 24 rounds fighting!

Now I don't think for one minute "that" JT was in the ring last night, more a shadow of an old good fighter, but AA showed me some brilliant points, he had his guard up and he has something in it that Winky Wright has in his. He covers his head and the points of his elbows cover where someone would go for the body so they end up head hunting and then he seems to walk them down and land accurate big bombs. Someone who is accurate is always hard to counter the same as someone who wings from distance, kind of like what Froch was doing last night.
