    Hopkins is good but is winky unbeatable

    Im not suprised hopkins wanted to fight wright,becuase to the eye he looks beatable.. but wright always does enough to win and in big fights recently hes been dominating.. mosley 2 times with ease and he peppered the **** out of tito. with wrights new style i cant see anybody beating him he has the best jab in boxing and his 1 2 is almost perfect now and he is sharp inside with great defense inside and out . and has 27 inch reach which makes hes 1 2 even sicker at low weights.. he punches alot harder now then he used to and u never see anybody try to bomb with him not even bazooka quartey..hopkins does have a huge size advantage but wright has the youth and that jab which may be even better than larry holmes. i had a problem with the vargas loss and the simon loss, vasquez got him tho.. thats 1 real loss when he wasnt even in his prime yet.. if u look at the scores he almost always dominates

    This is an intriguing fight given the two styles, but I definatly dont see Wright as unbeatable. And earning a majority decision over Mosely isn't exactly beating him with ease, say what you want about the judging but the second fight was a lot closer than people tend to recognize. Wright also will probably fight at a slower pace against Hopkins than the young Taylor, and this will be a plus for Hopkins. And while Write may have schooled Tito, he looked way less than spectacular against Sam Solimon, who is a guy with a lot of heart, endurance, and determination but limited skills (though the awkward style may have caused problems). So I think hopkins has a good chance to beat Wright, and right now I'm picking him to do so, though it should be an interesting matchup. And oh yeah, Hopkins also has a 3" height and reach advantage.

    Anyways, hopefully the winner will fight Calzaghe next.
