    No one got robbed in the Hopkins fights. They were very close decisions and Taylor earned his victories. This revisionist nonsense about Hopkins getting screwed is a load of crap.
    Oh, and of course, don't forget the dreaded HBO conspiracy theory!!! God help us all!!!

    Bernard rolled the dice in the first fight and thought he could take the first half of the fight off and stop a tired Taylor late in the bout. It almost worked, but almost doesn't guarantee a win.
    Jermain won fair and square and all the whining and bitching in the world isn't going to change that.

    It's typical distorted logic from some fans, though. If the judges don't score a fight exactly the way they do, then they scream robbery.

    And again, I will respond that your reading comprehension is terrible. The thread was about people who could possibly become top10 atg. Someone said that Pac wasnt an ATG, I said that I think he already was. Then I said that HOpkins could be considered TOP 10 ATG (maybe with big letters and numbers people will read and understand) possibly if he beats Winky, Calzaghe, then Mormeck.

    i had the first Taylor - Hopkins 1 point in favour of Hopkins and the second a draw i think, So i'm not gonna parade around rambling on about how he got robbed, But there will always be speculation about those decisions..

    You act as if Taylor had nothing to do with Hopkins "starting late" - that's just ****ing FUNNY. Yeah man! If Hopkins had just gotten going in round 1 and "fought the same way" as he did in the 11th round, he'd have pitched a 12 rounds-to-zero shutout! Brilliant. :roll:

    Your second point is also meaningless. I don't even know where to begin. His failure to KO guys like Ouma and Spinks "shows" that he's not good enough to do what he DID DO against Hopkins? Just meaningless gibberish.

    So because Taylor fails to "look good" by some imaginary standard you personally invented but hold off on naming, that means he doesn't deserve the victories he earned against Hopkins?

    He won more rounds than Hopkins did in their two fights. You are therefore wrong and ridiculous.

    This is a legitimate argument. But if one were to say they thought Hopkins should have been awarded a draw to salvage his belts, certainly that would not leave room for crying when Taylor gets a razor thin decision. Add that Hopkins gets a re-match to settle any complaints and clearly loses, and those who continue to viciously criticize Taylor begin to look like serious idiots indeed.

    That could be the dubest thing I ever heard.

    Harold Lettermen and the HBO crew with all there Taylor cocksucking and cheerleading could only score the fight a draw how the **** can you give Taylor 2 more rounds then Harold Lettermen gave him???

    Are you Lou DiBella???
