    Hopkins vs wright pure boxing

    I cant wait for hopkins wright, not for the exitement but for the true boxing that will be shown. True neither of them are ko specialists but there such clever fighters it will be great to watch and see who is the most skilled what do you think?
    I dnt know who to pick as hopkins is beter at attacking, is hard to hit and packs the bigger punch but wright is so skilled, has a impenitrable defence and his work rate will be far higher than b-hop's.

    dude it's gunna be good showmanship of skill and will! i really want wink to beat hop he was calling him out way back. I think that if Winky does win(and he will) it could put him in the hall of fame, and hopefully once again he gets the credit he's due. this guy has had to fight everywhere because people where dodging him. i know he doesn't have this massive KO record. but he always comes to fight! I hope he prepares for this fight and puts on a clinic! i respect Hopkins but i feel he getting too much credit for fighting Tarver who looks washed up in his recent outing.

    Wink has always gone after big names, he's getting a bit older and i know he won't be around much longer, but i think he's got plenty to put Hopkins away!

      I can't wait either!
      It's thrilling to think about how each man will go about to crack the puzzle in front of them. They are both smart, strong-willed boxers, but who's smartest?
      I can see Hopkins being able to give Winky angles with small sidesteps, and pot-shotting from the sides.
      But I can also see that hard right jab landing more often than Hopkins would like.

      I know B-Hop is good with southpaws, but that straight right won't work as well vs Wright because of that airthight defence.
      I'm rooting for Hopkins... Like him in a close desicion.

                  whats the undercard?
                  Im kind of annoyed this is PPV, but actually think it will be a fun one to watch...I really think their styles are going to make for an interesting fight.

                    I do want to watch it. But would I pay to see to of the most defensive and unexciting fighters in the game........no. I rather wait for the replay on HBO.
