Hopkins vs Winky Wright JULY 21 ON!

I'm already starting to feel tired...Bernard should keep the promise he made to his Mom and hang up the gloves and save us from further boring fights. this will probably be his last fight.

This is a classic case of good big man against good little man. Plus Winky basically only has one style moving forward with a strong jab that gets people out of their game plan. I have to believe that Hopkins will switch gears often and use his reach and size to pound Winky to a stoppage late. Don't forget Winky seems to enjoy showing he can take shots to the body and head, he wont change, he can't. Both will train their asses off and probably treat this as a career defining moment so we're in for a great fight. If winky can set a fast pace he will win. Bernard hopkins throws verry few punches and there has to be a reason. Winky can show us all what that is. He needs to throw about 75 punches a round. Alot of them will miss i know but if wright can keep the pace up hopkins has to tire out. Wright is a smart enoupg fighter to realize this and adapt acordingly.

Probably not. He looked amazing in the Tarver fight, and although Tarver and Wink are different styles in that Wink is more active, B-Hop showed enough agility in the Tarver fight that I consider it fair to asume that he'll be elusive enough to catch Winky off-guard. Im just saying he is only gonna get worse.

I got Winky all the way, even if for some strange reason the fight was offered at 170 pounds, I got Winky.

Do you think that B-Hops age will have a factor in this fight? Probably not.

Yup......and if Calzaghe wanted any part of hops he would'nt have taken the fucking Manfredo fight. i agree there is no way he is ducking calaghe

ducking calzaghe, winky is a more estabilished fighter with 10x the record of JC Yup......and if Calzaghe wanted any part of hops he would'nt have taken the fucking Manfredo fight.

B-Hop wins this easily. Winky's lateral movement has been non-existent since the first Mosley fight, and I see his athleticism slowly degenerating. In the last fight all he did was stand and trade, and when Quartey threw his punches, he put up his guard. They both stood in front of each other the whole time, so it was easy for Winky to hit him, but B-Hop won't do this. He is a master at working angles as well as lateral and front-back movement. He's very elusive and looked remarkably fresh and agile in his last fight. Winky's peek-a-boo defense and his jab are still amazing, but his limited movement will enable B-Hop to tag him. Also, when you take into consideration that Winky is the naturally smaller guy, I just don't see him winning this fight at all. Do you think that B-Hops age will have a factor in this fight?

Soliman,Taylor and Quartey ??? Yup. I know he has been swinging away. Problem is Soliman, Taylor and Quartey is not Bhops dude. Bhops is a very smart and agile fighter. There's no way Bhops can be drawn by Winky to fight his fight plan, Bhops will drag Winky to his gameplan not the other way around. Did you see how he made Tarver look like an amateur? Winky's gonna be chasing Bhops all night long buddy, while Bhops is running and clinching while wining round after round. :D And consider the fact that Bhops weigh 174 in his last fight and Winky weigh 159 1/2 lbs. Have you ever thought how would the additional 10 lbs will affect Winky? I understand your i just dont agreewith it. I think winky will be able to hit B-hop. I dont think he will have a problem I think wright will figure him out.

Bad move for winky. I think he can win. But winky is still looking for the big money fight with oscar. If he moves up in weight and wins, and oscar wins. I don't think winky could make it back down and fight at 154lbs. And I'm sure oscar has no plans to go back up to 160 pounds.

i think he has only truely lost once.

seriously if Winky beats Hopkins he's p4p1!, its a very risky fight for the winkster, but he's never lost a fight (and dont say vazquez, 3 rounds out of four of the knockdowns were draws!!!!!simon is teh closest fight IMO, maybe the draw wouldve been okay) so i donth think he's gonna start now. WInky has lost 3 times, he lost close decisions to vargas and simon, then got put on his backside 5 times by vasquez. He's done well to come back from those losses though.

I gotta go with Winky his punch output is higher and Winky is hard to hit Hopkins has got to go back to the bhop of old and fight in the pocket. Should be a good fight though. agreed aaaaaaa

1000+ punches? Whoaaaaaa . . . if Winky does that, both his arms gonna be sore because he'll be throwing maybe 900+ punches in the air . . . yes in the air. :D It's obvious you don't know Bhops dude. Bhops is the kind of fighter who doesn't just stand in front of you and trade, he is very mobile. He doesn't let opponents set traps and follow up punches. And besides Winky is a defensive fighter, he's gonna be waiting and waiting and waiting for Bhops to come in, because if he's the one who'll come in and initiate or attack Bhops, he's dead! And that having said . . . this is gonna be another sleeper. Have u seen winkys last few fights???? He has been swinging away. Rarly going into one of his turtle shells. I think wright will win this one fairly easly.

With winky trhowing so much and hopkins throwing so little punches do u honestly think he can decision Winky if winky throws 1000+ punches. well he threw some punches against tarver nad knocked him down so i'm not sure either way i think it will be a decision.. and a close on
