Hopkins fans get over it. He lost to Taylor twice

Hopkins wasen't robbed per say but I do think he won the 2nd fight and possibly the first.

IDK. Taylor didn't exactly TAKE the title either and Hopkins started late.

But I have never given Taylor full credit for beating Hopkins and he has continued to show he isn't near as good as those fights.

 

Hopkins shines on at 42 while Taylor's ****** ass struggles to look good against feather fisted guys like Cry Spinks... Dibella's connections at HBO have made this overrated chump who he is... He did nothing to take Hopkins' Title

 

robbed is too big of a word, u can say that about DLH-Tito or Chavez- Sweet pea but this fight was close but I was sure hopkins won the second one and had the first ****in even

 

I had it a draw in the first one, but leaning towards Hops. In the 2nd one, I had it for Taylor.

I had Taylor-Wright a draw.

 

i had taylor winning both of the bhop fights and had taylor beating winky 116-112

 

Taylor will look better to people when he blows away Pavlik...his fights with Hopkins and Wright were close and disputable, but they are great fighters so Taylor has to get credit for that...but if Taylor had fought a pre-Tito version of Hopkins he might've got stopped...

 

I think Taylor catches too much **** for those fights. People are pessimistic and dont look at anything in a good light. How about thinking that Taylor was competitive with two of the best fighters in recent years?

All fights were close. I can see a win for Taylor in the Hopkins fights and vice versa. I scored the wright fight a draw.

 

whats funny? :huh

 

Utter bullcrap Taylor was given gift decisions both times Winky beat him too Get off the Taylor bandwagon Pavlik will derail it if the judges arent prepaid

 

Taylor won the first 7-5, and the second 7-4-1

 

Yet you also stated in a post recently that Pacman is already an ATG, but Bernard still has work to do....

So........yeah........your view may slightly be warped.




















BTW, that album is amazing. Too bad your boxing taste isnt as good as your taste in music............jk jk jk.....kinda.

:yep

 

Bingo. Nice to see that someone realizes how OUTRAGEOUS these decisions were. IF it wasn't for Taylor's HBO backing, and Hopkins unpopularity with the boxing establishment, Bernard would have won the first fight and there never would have been a rematch - which he also WON. :nod

After Pavlik blows Taylor away people will realize what a hype job he was. Some of us have been calling it since the moment he got his first gift against Hopkins. :yep

Oh, and Taylor has some shaky whiskers, too. Why do y'all think he's been fighting light-hitters moving up from the lower weights since Hopkins rocked him, huh??:huh

 

Spinks stung him a couple of times in their bout.
