And obviously Hopkins doesn't bother for "easy" losses. People have been hinting that since Taylor got a draw to Wright all the way to now about Hopkins having to fight him to "easily" avenge a loss. What has Hopkins done instead?, fight the guys that BEAT Taylor and go in as the underdog yet still people say he takes calculated/easy moves or whatever. People overlooked Hopkins going in to fight Tarver like Pacquiao was overlooked going in against DLH, anyone that picked Pac or Hopkins was instantly called a ******. Yet they win and it's nothing all of a sudden. :nut
What for? Taylor got sparked by Pavlik, Froch and Abraham since then, even if he manages to win his next fight (assuming he doesn't pull of the Super Six) nobody in his sane mind will earnestly think Taylor will hear the final bell against Kessler... After that, a win against Taylor will prove nothing, even if Hopkins flattens him in the first round it will just tell us Taylor is damaged goods beyond repair... Why do you think Wlad is not fighting Ross Purity to revenge his loss? You don't really think because Wlad is afraid of him?
Out of their two fights, Taylor deserved a draw and a loss at best. Hopkins is above fighting Taylor. Besides, there's nothing to avenge anyway. The people saw what they saw.
If he fought Taylor now he would probably stop him. It is amazing how Taylor was the one who wore out first out of the two, although Taylor's schedule and opposition was very difficult. He fought everyone in those 4 years. Too bad he didn't do better. He is a guy who deserved accolades. Jermaine has a lot of heart.
