Hopkins is rooting for Taylor

I just thought it was cool that after all the bad blood, Hopkins tells Taylor to represent the middleweight division, and that he'll be there to cheer him on.

Show me the evidence and I will be surprised. But Taylor should only be in the division for another four or five fights and then he will move up (Win or Lose) so he won't represent the division for long.

Hopins is probably rooting for Taylor so he can say he lost to the main man of the middleweight division.

As soon as the fight was over he went to Emmanuel Steward's table and told him to give Taylor that message. Hey, I was happily surprised he said it to.

Hopkins is a business man. And business is business but he's always a very respectable person.. he doesn't hold any disdain for Taylor it was getting robbed

He don't care for Taylor, He just thinks if Taylor loses it will further tarnish his legacy and vice versa.
