    Hopkins thinks Taylor beat Wright

    I read somewhere that Hopkins predicted a 12 round draw in Taylor vs Wright and it was actually true but he said it should'nt have been a draw because he thought taylor beat winky, im surprised as this is coming from Hopkins. I'll post the link, im trying to find it as soon as i do ill paste the source here.

    also do you guys think hopkins is bluffing the jones fight? like oscar did against tito? i think he is bluffing so he can get the calzaghe fight at better terms, whoever can get him more money..etc

    No, actually Hopkins has said a few times that he thought Wright was robbed.

          If he said Taylor won by a point a or two then Id understand. If not then its clearly a case of hyping up the fighter that beat him.

          I had Winky winning by a round or two.

              Joe Blow actually said he thought Taylor won, as did Frank Warren. What surprised me (as well as that) was that the Blow thought Clinton Woods beat Glen Johnson.

                HBO is showing Calzaghe's next fight - which is outside the US - live at an odd US TV time, which shows that HBO is more aggressively trying to push Calzaghe as a star

                His fight vs. Bika was just a Boxing After Dark, but they're obviously promoting him.

                Maybe in anticipation of promoting the fight vs. Hopkins?

                Anyway - Taylor beat Hopkins the first time, lost the second time, and Winky beat him IMO

                    I had Taylor 1point up against Wright but it coulda went either way, a draw was fair enough. I thought Wink kinda spat his dummy out the pram when he stormed out the ring!
