At first I chalked it up to fighting someone like Hopkins who is so crafty and can make you pay if you're to agressive but now he is just timid. I've little doubt Taylor would win, but a KO might not be in the books.
I remember reading a boxing monthly mag that was issued after the 1st Taylor fight with Hopkins. He was trying to explain what hapened in those last few rounds against B-Hop and aslo justify his negative attitude during the reading of the score cards....

He said something along the lines of "Im just not used to losing rounds in there... It was killing me".

I guess he was (maybe still is) pretty immature in that respect, maybe a bit Brunofied. He's still a young man so hopefully (for him) he can get past this demon of his.
