Who is next for Taylor?

[Bombardier]

now i can't agree with nerves here.. you don't get MORE nervous as the fight goes on.. that makes no sense. now i give Taylor credit where credit is due, he was prepared tonite, and will be still prepared (even more so maybe) for the rematch, but Taylor didn't lose the last four round of the fight because he was nervous, he lost them because Hopkins showed up.

Maybe nerves isn't the right word, because I'm not trying to say he's nervous. What I mean is that the excitement of doing so well in a fight that was a HUGE leap in signifance for Taylor might have thrown him off his game. That sort of stuff happens all the time, inside and outside of sports. Just think if you're getting along good with some hot as hell chick in the bar and the more progress you make the harder it is to focus on your game, so the chances of you saying or doing some ****** increases.

I agree that Hopkins definitely turned up his game a notch in the later rounds, but I think if he had fought that way early on Taylor would have been better prepared for it.
