    Please - Bhop hasn't stopped anyone in more than 4 years.

    Taylor's last stoppage came since then, and that's saying a LOT.

    I would pick Hopkins. I thought Hopkins beat Taylor, but was cheated.

    That no one, including myself, actually believes that Taylor could really hurt BHOP, and at 170 it is even less likely.

    Because in Bizarro world, where this fight would be taking place, Hopkins has field days against speed fighters and dismantles them like Kostya Tszyu on steroids.

    That has more to do with BHOP than it does Taylor - Bernard is rarely hurt in fights and has never been stopped. There was a poll on here recently asking who between 160-175 has the best chance of KO'ing Hopkins, and majority opinion was that it was crazy to even ask that question.
