i think winky will be way out of his best weight when he fights hopkins at 170. ****, winky used to be the jr middleweight champion at 154.

i think the only fighter to go from jr middleweight to LHW champion is ray leonard.

If Hopkins is able to sustain a decent pace, circling and shooting the right hand through the guard for 12 rounds, I think he will win a close decision.
I think it might be another hugfest ala Hatton, as Hopkins will step in with one punch, hold and circle to the side to prevent Winky from being active.
It won't be pretty, but it is effective.

Ray Leonard fought at Middleweight a few times in his late career, when he was returning from retirement after retirement.

he never went up past middleweight...

ANd Ray Robinson went up to 175, but was stopped by Maxim due to exhaustion.

anyway, WInky is apparently very strogn and just as quick as always. SO i dont think the size will be to much of a problem, although if im making the betting odds i may make HOPKINS a slight favorite

I think it will be Hopkins..

Hopins is just a better boxer, who is once again picking on a smaller guy.

bump^^^^^^

no need to bump....hopkins winning going the distance.

Funny thing is...I think Wright took some damaging shots from the Taylor fight and I actually think that Old man Hops could stun Wright with that lead right hand just like he did against Robert Allen.

I aint saying that Hops will hurt or stop Wright but I do believe that he will outsmart and find a way to win a decisive decesion.

I dunno just my take on it...feel free to agree or disagree...

i was riding the fense on this one.
but it has come down to this making me fall on winkys side:
i gave hopkins mad props for beating tarver. but after tarvers lacky performance in his last fight it makes me look at hopkins win over tarver as less significant.
