Wright will probably win, but i will not count Hopkins out. He is a smart old man, and will fore sure be ready for Winky. Hopkins should fight Winky in close range and trade shot with him as often he can. No worry that Winky will stop Hopkins, because of that Hopkins need to take chances. It will come down to, can Hopkins sustain a high pace for 12 rounds still ?? If he can he will win. But judging on his latest fights it looks as he cant.

ya never know...winky might pull some **** out the bag for this fight...but don't doubt if it does end up being boring lolComment

Winky will win quite easily imo
Eevryone expects it to be slow and defensive. I think Winky is going to go straight at Hopkins and throw a lot of punches. I think he realizes all he has to do is outwork Hopkins like Taylor did.Comment

Bernard Hopkins will win this fight. Better fighter inside and out than anyone Wright has faced...even in his old age. Winky will get tagged more than he ever has before. It'll be close, but I think Hopkins has the style to beat Wright.
Should be an interesting bout though.Comment

Wright will win.
You'll see.Comment

hop has all advantages, his style is perfectfor suothpaws, its perfect for a guy that throws jabs, its pefect to frustrate guys who cant satnd being hit with the head, and more importantly, has the height weight advantage, and more powerful too.
that being said Winky by UD, the better fighter will prevail, not the one that picks smaller oppnents and then claims having a great legacy(hops is a great fighter, but his legacy is basically the tarver fight for me cause he actually took a risk...)Comment

'Scuse me? Tell me again how Wrights legacy is really all that different from Bernard's?
If I'm not mistaken, Wright has been building a resume and has been getting recognition for beating iconic SMALLER men who are past their best days. He wouldn't be where he is if not for Shanes ambition, Trinidad's ******ity and Quarteys desperation. Those guys were all past their best and were outmatched in the same way many of Hopkins opponents were.
Did I miss something?Comment

Wright does not have Taylor's size nor his firepower, but what he does have is a static defense which will allow Hopkins to work him on the inside. Wright's style is ready made for Hopkins. I can't see Hopkins losing this fight even if his skills have deteriorated.Comment

Mosley was a lightweight. Trinidad was WAY past it. Quartey was on a comeback but was way past his best days too.
Wright lost to those guys you mentioned...I suppose you could say he got the bad end of the Simon decision. He faded in the Vargas fight and clearly lost the Vazquez fight (he wasn't ready for that one anyway). I thought the Vargas fight was razor thin....
Hopkins is a light middleweight fighting welterweights....wha...?Comment
