robinson,monzon,hagler,hearns,leonard,lamotta,etc, would have never lost to someone like taylor, i'm not saying hopkins is lame but he just happens to be at the right time in history to dominate his division, if he fought in those days he would of lost to all of them, he would of put up a fight but would of lost eventually, he definately did not turn old tonight, he closed the show strong but wasnt enough to win the fight so he has no excuses for losing to taylor, he should have convincingly beat taylor tonight, therefore i see no way he wins a rematch, taylor wins the rematch by comfortable decision.
