    Anyone could get stopped, this is boxing.
    It's not as ****** as when half the time a Hagler topic comes up, people act like he was some balls to the wall, face-first brawler.

    That makes me want to puke.

      I think Winky has great defense for that style of boxing. As opposed to the popular illusive defensive style of Mayweather and Leonard, I've never seen a boxer with such an effective toe-toe defensive appoach. Winky gets hit, yes, but he has proven to be able to take a hit as good as anyone and more often than not the heavy power punches that he gets hit with are partially deflected and slightly buffered reducing the impact and thus the effectiveness of the power punch. He could frustrate Hagler, but I doubt he'd win on points.

      Regardless of Wright's boxing prowess, I'm taking Hopkins over Wright come July. But maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part... I'm not sure.

          In modern times I see Hagler winning against him with aggression while Winky might land more punches; Hagler will win especially if the same judges who judged Taylor's recent fights are present.
