    Hopkins new Gameplan?

    Do you think he will be less tentative against Taylor this time around? I personally think so. The average fan seems to be under the impression that he is solely limited to boxing from the outside....and does not posess the ability to mix it up on the inside.

    Sure buddies. Keep telling yourselves that. Taylor might need to remember he is dealing with one of the most diverse pugilists to ever fight in this division, as well as one of the best INSIDE fighters.

    This rematch means alot to me....because if Taylor wins LEGITIMATELY this time.....I will obviously give him due credit. As it stands...he recieved a gift decision in a fight where he was outlanded and outboxed by the craftier fighter.

    I acutally had the first fight a draw. Only because Hopkins gave away the first four rounds. Anyway i expect Taylor to be more relaxed and be more accurate with his punches. I expect Hopkins to come out fighting right from the bell, should make for a great fight.

      Absolutely. I think Nard is going to rush him right when the fight starts.....and put Taylor back on ***** street where he was at the end of the last fight.

      He now knows that Taylor does not hit hard enough to get him out of there.

        To be honest at 41 and as great of shape and as diciplined as he is, I don't know how his body could take an early start and keep it up till the end of the fight. Taylor aint going down on a single punch so Bhops gonna have to work him good. I expect him to be less tentative but I truly doubt he'll get a quick start.

            What Hopkins learned about Taylor in the first 5 rounds of the last fight he will take advantage of from the very start of this one. he will measure his pace but i see him stopping taylor one way or the other

            I thought hopkins won the first fight.

            I still cant believe a judge gave taylor round 12, just dont get it.

              This is my most eagerly anticipated fight left this year after Corrales-Castillo 2.

              I think Taylor will win again. Hopkins can't go all out any earlier than he did in the first fight otherwise he would have.

              I see Taylor by UD.

                That is a very legitimate point. Hopkins felt the punches early on....and seemed reluctant to let his hands go to say the least.

                The only difference is: His legacy as a fighter is on the line.

                  This dosn't mean **** to fighters these days. Look at jones, his was on the line.

                  What did he deliver? A piss poor show. I think hopkins will win this time around, but " legacy " dosn't mean **** to me anymore.

                  Legacy's don't talk these days. Money does.
