Jermain Taylor will be fighting Bernard Hopkins. He got to that point by beating Daniel Eduard. Who in turn got to face Taylor by beating Willie Gibbs. Suppose Gibbs beat Eduard and advanced forward to face Jermain Taylor. Now suppose Gibbs beats Taylor. Would that make Gibbs the next opponent for Hopkins? Gibbs is Hopkins' nephew. That would make it the first time I can remember that relatives fought in the ring.
Of course, it doesn't really work like that and Hopkins doesn't fight anybody he doesn't absolutely want to at this point. But it would've been interesting for Hopkins to pass the torch of the middleweight division to someone that carries on the family legacy.
