Taylor confirms Sept 29th against Kelly Pavlik
WBC/WBO middleweight champion Jermain Taylor and comebacking ring legend Felix Trinidad both commented Monday on Saturday's PPV clash between Bernard Hopkins and Winky Wright in Las Vegas. Both fighters spoke from experience. Taylor won two close decision against Hopkins and has a draw with Wright. Trinidad was stopped by Hopkins and outpointed by Wright. "I feel like Winky is going to bring his A game and Hopkins going to bring his A game," said Taylor. "It's going to be a great fight and I don't know who going to win, so I'm telling you right now it's a toss up fight." Trinidad was brief and very clear on his prediction. "I think Winky will beat Bernard Hopkins next Saturday," he stated, adding that although he lost to both fighters, and "this is not an excuse, but I feel sad that it wasn't the "real Tito" in the ring for those fights. That is part of the reason I am now coming back and I would love to have rematches with both guys, he commented"

Sometimes great fighters opinions mean shit.Tito was dominated & then stopped by Nard but now he says Winky will beat Nard!...without even explaining y or how?
Ive seen it many times in the past...fighters like Tito can't accept they were beat fair and square by a better fighter and they automatically pick their conqueror to lose in proceeding fights.
At times fighters opinions are the result of denial...In actuality they're far from an insightful viewpoint,but moreso the result of ego affected & byist concept borne from this denial.
Althoughh Winky may well win, Titos opinion is worthless IMO.
