I see both fighters taking care of the next bunch of fighters lined up to face them and maybe after 2 or 3 years, would go at it again for the Undisputed Middleweight Championship of The World. God I miss Bernard already!
Personally...I love Hopkins & Wright...& I really like Taylor...but the best thing for the middleweight division will be next year.
Taylor needs to take a non-title fight or warm up fight or whatever you want to call it against a lesser demon of the 160lb ranks.
Abraham & Sturm need to get through their matches & Wright needs to match with some other body.
Again...love Hopkins...but the best thing for 160 is him making way for new ground to be broken.
160lbs is going to come alive with faces like Sturm, Lorenzo, Gibbs, Abraham, Foreman, Duddy, Miranda, Pavlik, & more (not to be confused with Mora

)
I just hope that both will take care of their own until the fated rematch. Hope JT would improve drastically and Winky would not fade that easy(How old is he?). Also, what ever happened to Ikeke he was a giant among these Middleweights? Thanks Wacko

right back babe.
I agree...Taylor does need improvement in many areas...he relies on his power way to much to fight a few of the other guys across the board...I honestly don't see that many other faces that could beat Taylor outside of Sturm. I'm a big fan of quite a few of the other names out there...Abraham included.
I think that Taylor could take out Miranda, Duddy, & Pavlik...although Pavlik is pretty slick from what limited amount I have seen of him...so I really shouldn't pass judgement on him. I honestly believe that Abraham would be a great fight...but I think that Taylor would beat him down the stretch.
Sturm is going to be the tuffy for him. Personally...I think that Wright beat Taylor & Wright's got one hell of a jab & a hell of a defense...Sturm running a close second. He's got a powerful jab & he rarely seems to tire...an issue that Taylor falters on.
The trouble that both Sturm & Taylor gave each other as am's...it'd be compelling to see them take it to the ring as pros now.
I'm curious to see who shows the most improvement.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
