does anyone else want BHop to set the record straight against Taylor??

:rofl he lost to Taylor because he was to old now he is like 4-5 years older, trust me he loses to him again, at 44 Bhops is not gonna get Taylor.

 

I had them winning one a piece. Hops had Jermain shaken up real good, and that version of B-hop was getting uncomfortable making 160. They are both at better weights for themselves now. I think it would be a better fight this go around cause you can bet on B-hop's coming in with the determination to avenge his "losses."

 

Taylor doesn't have hbo in his pockets anymore he will loose the fight if they fight again. Taylor was hbo's baby just look at the first pavlik fight score cars they had taylor winning by a landslide but in reality pavlik was winning 4 rounds to 2 at the time of the stoppage. not to mention the first two hopkins fights.

 

B-hop should show you by now age is irrelevant in his case. It's cause he's so damn smart. You're being short-sighted saying it's just age...

 

That was another issue when they first fought. They thought B-hops would be retired shortly and look at him now still fighting and ranked much higher than Jermaine..LOL

 

I saw Hopkins at his peak, trust me he is FAR from what he was at his best, yeah he beat Pavlik but 10 yrs ago Pavlik would not have made it past the 8th, and Taylor would've been beat in a decisive manner. I'm not short sighted, you're short sighted just like some of the Mosley fans who don't think he is way past it, Hopkins can still handle himself as can SSM but age has definetly caught up with him.

 

He hasn't fought any different for the last 8 years and those years contain all his best wins. He had one off night, and so did Calzaghe. Did they looked faded in their next fights? Nope. You must not understand when B-hops "prime" was. His mind keeps him in his prime. He works harder than anyone, can out-think opponents, and has never took much damage.

 

Bhops used to KO guys he hasn't KO'd anyone since ODLH, his decline started in the 3rd Allen fight, hopkins today is an econimical fighter that CAN'T constantly pressure and break guys down anymore. Bhops at his best would KO 3/4 of his opponents he now fights in spurts, a blind man could see that Hopkins is past it.

 

atsch The way he fought Tito is what he routinely did in the mid 90s, he hasn't beat someone down really good like that since the Joppy fight. Let guess you think at 44 he at his peak right.......:rofl

 

:beat

 

JT is overrated at 160 and underrated at 168.. i really can not understand why kessler is a heavy favorite against JT if they fought at 168

 

Kessler is unproven BUT JT does have some flaws in his game that being said, JT would probably take Kessler without much trouble.

 

we have the same sentiments..i cant understand why people says that kessler would win over JT...JT is the best 168 fighter today

 

Now your true ignorance is revealed. JT and Kessler would be a tough fight whoever wins. I think Jermaine's better off at 168 but the fight is like 50/50 I think at this point. I gotta see Jermaine fight once more at 68 to see if he's stays more disciplined like his last two fights. Kessler isn't gonna bend. It would be a hell of a fight. To say Jermaine wins without too much trouble is plain dumb though. However, Jermaine wil dispatch of Carl Fraud without much trouble...

 

Who has Kessler fought, other than Slappy that was worth a damn? Taylor has been in with much better comp, last fight he came in chubby against Lacy and still had an easy night, he gets in shape and Kessler won't know what to do.
