    Bernard Hopkins has "Bad" tattooed against his left asscheek and "Intentions" tattooed across his right, along with a little Arkansas Razorback pig.

    This is ******ed. Taylor had the tools to beat an old Hopkins, scratch that he out hustled an old Hopkins. It is crystal clear and obvious Hopkins is the more skilled fighter though.

    BHOP gave Taylor too much respect in the 1st fight and fought like an old man...if BHOP would've fought aggressive like he did against Pavlik, Taylor goes 0-10 against BHOP...

    Hopkins would knock Taylor out in a third fight, I had him winning the fights with Taylor.

    Hopkins...but IMO outta 100 fights Jermain would win 78 of em if he fought BHOP....STYLES MAKE FIGHTS.!! Jermain is a good fighter but BHOP is a great fighter....if it were 2001 BHOP woulda beat Jermain x2 instead of the opposit!!

    Style wise and accomplishment wise . . . it's got to be Bhops. :deal

    Yes Bhops lost twice to Taylor but Bhops have reach higher heights that Taylor couldn't reach . . . at the age of 44. :deal

    taylor is a great athlete and an average boxer...he could overcome a lot of his bad habits b/c he was such a great athlete. that being said, hopkins was killing himself to make 160 when he was fighting taylor. i like taylor a lot but bhop is not only better but an atg. kinda wierd to say that when bhop lost twice to taylor but i have to say bhop nonetheless.

    it is funny to just dismiss the actual fact that JT BEAT BHOP twice...that should count for something...I think BHIOP obviously has a better resume but the better fighter won both fights...if u think that is JT then he is the better man...two men enter one man wins...twice in a row
