If Hopkins beats Taylor do you believe there will be a 3rd fight?

    Yes, and one final note
    I cant stand this Taylor was given a gift crap. He won rounds 1-5, maybe 6, and 8. I know Hopkins won the last round but one judge gave Hopkins round 3 which he lost, so who cares? In this fight the only time Hopkins scored was after Taylor was burned out, so of which had to due with that nasty cut. I see Taylor being technicaly a little better and just taking his time. (Hopkins is going down)

    Peace out

What good does it do the sport or division if Nard won and then retired? Me not get it
      Last time I remember, Taylor was the one dying for the rematch..

        Lol, he is?? Since when? I cant imagine why...he IS the champ, after all. If he is, it's honestly the first I've heard of it...Nard is the one with something to prove...not just Taylor.

            That's not the way I see it. Hopkins has done nothing but cry about Duane Ford scoring the last round for Taylor since the end of the last fight. What about Jeremy Roth scoring the fight 116-112 for Hopkins??

            The fight was damn close and for Bhop to cry the way he has is just embarrassing for a fighter of his caliber.

              Hmmm will Nard give Taylor a remtach if he wins...I dont know I guess it all depends on what the fight looks like.

              My bet would be that Nard goes back to doing what Nard does best...

              Which is beating up on smaller fighters.

              AKA he fights Winky in an unbearable fight too watch.

              The only question in this match would be is HBO ****** enough to pay these guys PPV type money... both men are similiar to Floyd in 1 respect...they think they are worth about 6x's what they will be offered!

                ....I totaly agree and I had Taylor winning the first fight. Nard was never one of my favorites but I always respected and kind of liked him. The bitching from him and his fans has me wanting Taylor to whip his ass tomorrow night.

                  Taylor wanted a rematch right after the fight, 'cause he knew he didn't win, check the transcripts. Now, if he's really believing all the hype, and actually has convinced himself that he DID win the fight, ok, let's define terms here, Taylor won the MATCH, Hopkins won the FIGHT, so, if Taylor's confident, just 'cause he's got some belts around his waist, he's in T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Now, if all his talk is just pre-fight promotion, and he DOES have respect for the man, he's got a chance.
                  But a 3rd fight if Taylor loses? Nah, let B-Hop go after history and fight Tarver, then hang 'em up.

                    Didn't Nard promise his mom b4 she died that he wouldn't fight pass his 41st birthday?

                      What if the fight is close as hell like the first one with Hopkins wining a disputed split decision. Wouldn't that demand a rubber match?
