    More boring to watch Winky or B-hop???

    I think b-hop style is harder to watch because of the holding.
    While Winky has very very clean punches and is move willing to stand and trade.
    Compare
    Winky vs Taylor to B-hop vs Taylor
    Winky vs Tito to B-hop vs Tito
    and it is easy to see that B-hop is the reason for a fights sour notes as always

        Every once in a while Bernard will suprise you like when he fought Trinidad or Oscar.. Winky's fight's are always the same boring defensive minded fights that are going to go the distance. I just don't care for Winky's style of fighting. I respect it but its just painful to watch.

              I like winky style, if i could fight like him i would not have too block the punches with my chin. It's not very exiting, but i like clean fights with out holding. And his fights against trinidad, taylor and mosley were good

                Well, I was rooting for Hopkins, but Wright took the fight to him, and he reverted to his old elusive self.....

                  Hopkins is without a doubt the more boring of the two. Wink can be monotonous quite often (which tends to get confused with "boring"), but is usually at least dancing as hard as he can. Hopkins fights the way he does to control the pace of a fight (as in, slow it down to a crawl) and which leads to way too many stop-and-starts, which as Lampley correctly noted earlier in the fight, makes all of his fights devoid of any real ebb-and-flow.

                  It's a damn shame, because the mid-90's version of Hopkins was one of my favorite fighters to root for and watch. I understand that as you get older, you need to change up in order to survive at the top level, but damn he went almost from one extreme to the other.

                    Only good a rematch would do is screwing Wright over again. GoldenBoy: The Fix is in.
