Winky vs Hopkins ?

But overall, i think we will tell on june 17th. If winky beats taylor, and since taylor and hopkins have somewhat similar styles, Winky would most likely beat hopkins I think that's very true.

If this is judging before the first Hopkins/Taylor fight, then I would have to look at Hopkins fight against Eastman. In that fight, he wasn't real active as far as throwing goes and kept his distance most of the fight. Didn't really throw any combinations or didn't throw many and Winky isn't really a fighter that your going to defeat one punch at a time. I like Hopkins more, but Winky wins this by decision.

who in this thread overrated Winky? Don't get mad because some think Winky would win, it's not like they said that he's better in their primes they just had a different opinion then you. Some felt Hopkins would win and that's fine as well,I've seen some of the fighter's you follow/defend/support and if Winky's overrated then what are they? they are better then winky. honestly, the reason i keep posting that he's over-rated -besides the fact that he is- nobody can tell me why they like to see him fight and/or point to another fighter that they follow whom is also a good boxer as winky. I think winky gained a lot of fans when he beat mosley and trinidad and had his war with vargas, but besides those fights noboday can really give a clear honest opinion on why they follow winky and if they respect him so much as a boxer, with other boxer do you respect or is he the only boxer that you respect? but if he is the only boxer that you respect, then it goes back to my point that many jumped on the bandwagon when he beat mosley trinidad and had his war with vargas. Ain't nothing wrong with that, but at least give some clear resons. all i see is winky can box, winky has good defence. wheres the threads on santos, caldron, martin castillo and so on. i wish i still had his fight when he fought harry simon, i dare anybody try to get to the last round of that fight, or another, him versus frazier. Which i was recording at the time, cause i knew the significant of him winning the world title after all these years, but i couldn't cause he was too damn borring. Winky is like Clearnce "Bones" Adams in a way -differnt styles- they both were boxing for many, many years, till finally they won a world title and gained some respect. But with winky i see it going over board. if he beats taylor which he won't, but if he does then he deserves the recognition many of you give him. but till then....

Hopkins wins no doubt in my mind! anything winky throws won't be anything new. Hopkins has seen it all and if hopkins has to he'll take it old school and school winky the way he did with keith holmes who is also a southpaw with good skills who would give wink hell in his prime. many of you are over-rating winky, and i've said it again.... if its his boing skills you respect then start posting threads called "wheres daniel santos"

Draw, and the most boring fight of all time too by the way.

This would be a rather boring fight. :banana:

JacK the rippa, I meant the versions of both right before the first Hopkins/Taylor fight.

Each fighter at their best or right now?

I think winky wright would win actually. he is much better defensively, and hopkins lives and dies by his ability to counter. When he is unable to do so, Winky will get in a few hooks and stuff. Winky also has an awsome right jab, so he can set up a bunch of oppurtunities, if nothing shows up at first. It would be a boring fight. But overall, i think we will tell on june 17th. If winky beats taylor, and since taylor and hopkins have somewhat similar styles, Winky would most likely beat hopkins

I know Winky used to always say he wanted him when he was still "unknown" but in a respectful way to boost his name and stuff. This is a close one wanted to hear people's opinions(I know they have them).

That's a good question.
