McCLellan would have KO'd Taylor -

Vs a prime Hopkins it would have been a tough match - If McClellan couldn't take Hopkins out....the longer the fight went Hop's would be in bettter control - I could see a McClellan TKO inside of 6...or a Hopkins UD -

Hopkins would take McClellan to school. Gerald would land some bombs and have some success but Hopkins was a very skilled fighter. McClellan was one of the divisions hardest ever punchers but I think that this fight is all wrong for him.

Hopkins again is getting over rated. Though yes, Hopkins has some boxing skills but it can not be said they are better then McCellans were. McCallen had a long reach and he could punch.

I think it would be a tough fight for all three but I'd pick McCellan. Wheather McCallen knocks out Taylor possably, but I don't think he'd ko Hopkins.

Agreed. Also, Taylor gets ko'd by McClennan mid to late rounds.

Gerald McClellan to ko Jermain Taylor, but lose on points to Bernard Hopkins.
