    I love hopkins but the fact is he lost twice to taylor. However it doesnt change the fact that he is an ATG

    Uhm no. Not anybody can see that. Most rationalle people agree that hopkins came on very strong late and easily hurt taylor when he chose too but gave away too much in the begining of the fight

    How did you come to this conclusion? I think if you make a poll on this site about who won the first fight, Hopkins would get at least three quarters of the votes. If you scored it for Taylor, would you mind telling me 7 rounds that you thought he won?

    Exactly. These fights will always be known as very questionable decisions tainted by the influence of HBO and Hopkins' unpopularity with the boxing establishment.

    Taylor's subsequent gift draw against Wright and his uninspiring performances against Ouma and Spinks will be seen as the prelude to his inventional destruction by Kelly Pavlik.

    All in all Taylor will be known as a rather mediocre MW champion who would never have held the title were it not for the corruption of the sport by powerful interests.

    No...they will be known as close decisions which were disputed. And if Hopkins had won, it would have been disputed as well, since it was so close.

    Very few people mention the HBO conspiracy Zakman. And when it's mentioned, most of us ignore it.
