Winky has a jab but so does Taylor.Taylor's jab is actually quicker than Wright's.
I think Taylor could win by stopping Winky late.He is the undisputed MW champion afterall ya know.
Winkys jab is clearly better. We saw how easy it was for Bernard to make his jab pretty useless. Look for Wink to do the same thing. Plus when Winky jabs he's blocking with the other hand unlike Jermain who sticks his noggin out even further for Winky to smack.

winky hands down . jermain couldnt pass trough nard defense , he wont land any punches on winky .
keep in mind that it was nards reflexes that avoided taylor's punches, winky's defense is just his forearm and maybe a little head movement, nard would duck two feet straight down or to the side when taylor would try to bomb on him
The question is does Taylor have the power to go through Winky's defense. We all know Winky can cover up really well, but he will still feel the punches if Taylor is strong enough. I felt that Trinidad and Mosley just lacked power and size to do any damage when they fought Winky. Gotta keep in mind that this could be the first time Winky is fighting somebody his own size or bigger. Now I think if Taylor can hurt Winky through his guard or just make him taste his power then it'll be an easier night for him. On the other hand if he can't it'll be a long night
Hopkins is better than Winky. Taylor beat Hopkins but it was very close. However i think Taylor will make big improvements after this fight and well be more relaxed in big fights. I see Taylor winning by close descion or late round ko over Winky.
Winky is as seasoned and smart as Bernard with better defense, Bernard hits harder. If Taylor couldnt beat, or hit Bernard with one clean shot no way in hell he beats Winky. Who has the even better jab.
Hopkins has got a mobile defense. He dodges punches and uses his depth footwork to evade an opponent.
Winky's on the other hand has got a static defense, which make him easier to tag but the problem is that he puts up a formidable barrier that smaller boxers find hard to penetrate. Of course he's also got that stiff jab he uses to score and to deter the other guy's offense. I think JT, being a fast natural middleweight, is strong enough to crack that armor. He no slouch in the jabbing department either.
We are in agreeance, sometimes I cant help but to pounce when I see a post that has flaws, it may be cause Im perfect ro it very well could be that I am just an asshole.
You caught me on the 225 thing, It wont happen again restless438 unless Im high?
naw its cool,, :439:
you have good points, don't get me wrong, im just saying you don't have to jump all over someones comments like that. i have mutual respect for all three fighters in regards to their talents and what they can do in the ring, thats all.
oh, and 438 not 225 (but im sure that was on purpose)

Restless225 you must no that I am always calm, I am always calm.
Winky Wright has been champ for a fraction of the time that Hopkins has therefore I will do the smart thing by respecting Hopkins in a higher regard than I do Winky.
Winky is a good fighter dont get me wrong but he is not as good as his performance may suggest against Tito. In fact that fight is fools gold in a way.
You mention Winky and his 50+ fights, very nice point, how many of those fights were title fights?
As for smarts your right fuck the IQ thing neither of us are speaking about that, Im talking about ring smarts, Nard may be as sharp in the ring as any fighter ever-0this could be Nards best attribute. Winky is smart but he still has a way to go before he can even be mentioned in Hopkins class, we both no that.
As for defense, I know everbody gets touched at some pioint in their career but Nard has never really been touched all that much or at least not in the last 5 or 6 years...watch winky fight JC Candello and you will realize that he can be hit...if he fights Taylor which he wont do he will be hit!

1) Winky's a very smart fighter, maybe not exactly as smart, but smart (this isn't an I.Q. test)
2) He's had 50+ fights!! Actually more than Hopkins im pretty sure!
3) Winky has a very good defense, just like B-Hop
in other words, calm the f*** down and think before you start harassing

1) Winky is not as smart as Bernard.
2) How the fuck is Winky as seasoned as Bernard?
3) There is no fucking way Winky has better defense than Bernard!
"Hello King", Bernard is a rich dude and when I mean he is rich I mean he's got his own money, no what im sayin King?

1. Yes he is as smart as Bernard. I didnt say smarter.
2. Winky is 36 and payed his dues.
3. Winky reads his opponents punches just as well as Hopkins, does the shoulder tuck and covers up as good as Hopkins. Tito hit bernard more than he did Winky.
