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
Hopkins is good but is winky unbeatable

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.
