    I have been thinking that now that Taylor moved to 168 Bernard could fight him at 170 and avenge his controversial losses since avenging the loss to Roy makes no sense after Calzaghe beat Roy up. A fight anyone wants to see or do you wanna see B-hop fight someone else?

    The sun has set on this one. No one, and I mean no one, is clamoring for this.

    What? No. We don't need anymore old superstars screwing up the important fights in divisions. Taylor is a perfect foil at 168. He's got plenty to do.

    Yeah, its not really what we want.

    Taylor shuld look towards Kessler, Froch and Bute.

    Hopkins should look towards Kessler and Dawson.

    If they both beat one or two of the ones that are relevant for them, then the fight may make sense.

    Hopkins would have to knock him out to win, just like before. If it goes to the cards, he's ****ed.

    As much as I like both fighters and understand how close their two fights were, it's just a case where I don't have the urge to want to see them fight again. I just have the feeling that they both come out as losers if they fight again. Best to leave this one on the books as two close decisions.

    But wouldn't both get more credit for fighting younger top fighters then maybe fight one last fight in a rematch?

    Not really. Yeah, he got robbed but it's done. Jermain got the wins and everyone has moved on.

    I would like to see Hops take on Tarver and Glen Johnson though.

    I would rather see Dawson fight Calzaghe, Taylor or Pavlik. Hops is old, I'm sure he could take him, but I would rather see him fight other old men.

    I wanna see it.

    I thought their first fight was a draw, and Hopkins won their second fight. I think this time he'll win a UD or a stoppage.
