This garbage would lead me to believe that you've never watched a Taylor fight prior to Hopkins. And if you didn't think that Taylor/Hopkins 2 was convincing, then you are smoking crack. "Dominate" Hopkins or Wright? Who do you think would ever do that?

again squeaking by a 41 or is hop 42? is not convincing

Another close fight. Obviously. I don't know who'd win. Possibly favour Winky.

Are you saying that Hopkins is no longer a good boxer in his old age? IMO, he's STILL one of the best p4p's. His age didn't show a bit when he stomped Tarver's guts out recently.

Mark my words if Winky ever steps in the ring with JT, he's getting KTFO.

When I was watching the fight, I was screaming. First time I had got that into a fight in a long time. I was screaming at Taylor. He could have made that fight so much easier on himself. He could have jabbed and circled around back to the center of the ring and life would have been 100% easier for him. Even if his jab wasn't going to land, he should have thrown it, circled and either got back to the center of the ring or create angles to throw his punches, mainly the straight right. I would have to think he would do a better job of that in the second fight, because letting Winky come forward was the wrong decision, couldn't beleive Stewart when he said that was the plan weeks before the fight and I even made a very long drawn out post about it and how Taylor would win. That didn't work. Let's hope the jab doesn't disappear next fight.

No doubt! Nothing is more frustrating than seeing the champion boxer making elementary mistakes like that! But then again, I guess I can't talk because I wasn't the one going toe-to-toe with Winky Wright either. I agree, though... that was annoying as hell!
