you mean him touring and meeting Clinton?

maybe with other fighters i'd be worried, but i think Taylor has a good head on his shoulders and once it's time to get back to training (which i'm sure will be soon), he'll get focused again. Remember, the fights not for 5 months.

btw, coming to america is one of my favorite comedies

Bernard Hopkins is cold, cool and calculated. He is probably alreay in training for December 3rd.

Taylor will get whooped!

Jermain Taylor is enjoying what he has right now. It's a dream come true for him. Give the guy a break. But 12 weeks before the fight and he keeps "touring" instead of practicing, while b-hop has already prepared. Then it would be a different story.

okay 4 months.... if you really have that big a problem with it, go find him, get in his face about it, and tell him to get his **** together!

I'm sure he'll listen to you.

Taylor will be living it up for a while then will get back to training. He'll be fighting a different Hopkins in the rematch though. It'll be the old Hopkins with the "me against the world" attitude that's gonna punish Jermaine Taylor. Hokins is gonna put an exclamation point on this next fight & make sure that he wins.

Taylor will beat Hopkins' ass this time. I tend to think getting cut open by that headbutt affected Taylor's performance. I mean that was the closest he had come to being hurt in his career, and it led to Hopkins being able to hurt him later. He'd never been cut or anything, and I think that messed with his mindset. Taylor is better than Hopkins, and he'll beat him again in the rematch.

Hopkins is a ***** for crying

Hopkins will be busier, and that's all that matters. If Hopkins throws a few more shots it'll lure Taylor into a more steady pace and then when Hopkins backs off to start throwing counters, Taylor isn't going to be able to cope with it. Hopkins will win. Taylor will have his time as middleweight champ, just not for another year or so until Bhop retires. I wish Taylor the best of luck in all things otherwise though, he's a good kid.
