    Great stuff at this juncture in the thread.

    I'm favoring the line of argument by these gentleman.

    Hopkins is like a forrest creature in there.
    He'll keep coming back and leaving until he finds a way to turn his prey belly up.

      I think it'll be a good fight for any purists. I think Hopkins is just the better fighter outright. I think he'll get to Wright more than anyone has so far, while largely taking away the effectiveness of Wrights jab. Remember everyone who thought Jermain Taylor had the best jab in the middleweight division? Yeh...Hopkins made it a non-factor. Wright's is better than Taylor's is, but I think Hopkins will know how to adjust accordingly.

      It'll get interesting when Wright gets used to Hopkins punch and starts walking him down more in the second half of the fight. That's when we'll see these two great fighters at their best. Anywho, Hopkins by close, clear decision.
      This is the one I really want to see. I'm feeling that purist thing for sure.

      Great breakdown.

        I got Winky winning a decision at this point.A couple of years ago I probadly would have favored B-Hop.But that was then,and this is now.As great as Bernard is,he simply doesn't throw enough punches a round anymore at forty one.Yeah he looked great against Tarver,but Tarver wouldn't let his hands go at all.It's not going to be the same with Winky in there.That sneaky two punch a round stuff may still work with many other world class fighters around today.But I don't see it working with Winky.Bernard's not going to be outclassed or anything,he's just simply going to be outworked.
