Why is BHop DUCKING Winky?

[TyrantT316]

last time I checked...Hopkins was planned to fight Taylor before Winky was thought to be a factor in the MW division...when they finally did sign, Winky was already scheduled to fight Tito...now Hopkins is on contract to fight Taylor while Winky just beat Tito...Hopkins is not going to go back on his contract with Taylor for a no money fight with Winky...

I knew that people would start saying Hopkins is ducking Winky and that Hopkins is a fraud for not fighting Winky...Hopkins had a plan for Taylor, Tito, and Johnson/Tarver winner I think...he doesn't have to fight EVERY new entry into the division especially when his career is just about over

If Hopkins ducks Winky I will not give him the respect he's looking for, if he's looking more for a PERFECT record, then **** him...

He is a hall of famer, no doubt about it, but NO WAY will he be even close to the greatest middleweights of all time...

Look at Sugar Ray Robinson, 19 losses...
He would eat Nard and his "20 defenses"

If Nard doesn't fight Winky cuz of his record, then that ain't what a true champion does...

IF (if is the key word) he doesnt fight Winky Wright, I will not respect him like I respect Robinson, Hagler, Griffith, Grebb, Monzon,Basilio, Fullmer,Lamotta, etc.

They did not duck anybody...

Spot on mate!...

he's 40+ years old. winky is in his prime and has one of the best jabs the sport has ever seen. it's not exactly a dumb move to steer away from the bull with the best skills in the sport currently.sure, it tarnishes hopkins legacy a little bit,but personally i think he's smart for doing it.

say he took on wink. wink would make him look like trinidad for 12 rounds.that isnt what you wanna retire to after being undefeated 10yrs..hell no,b-hop will play it smart and go after the less technical powerpunchers that he knows he can easily tire out and win a UD on.

The reasons you've just noted here are EXACTLY the reasons that Hopkins is bad for the sport!

This is surpossed to be BOXING!... And these guys have to prove they're the best by beating the best! Hopkins can go on and continue to fight, Morrad Hakker - William Sloppy - Carl Daniels - Robert "shot" Allen etc (whilst waiting for Judah/Mayweather/Morales to move up to middleweight) until he's got to 30 defences for all I care... He's still not gonna get any respect from genuine fight fans if he doesn't step up!

I guess you don't respect Ray Leonard then, for retiring rather than fight Hagler, waiting until Hagler was out of his prime and then fighting him?

or what about lennox lewis?i guess you don't respect him either since he 'retired' after facing vitali.

don't act like we're talking about two fighters in their primes;that would be pretty weak to see a champ duck someone his age.we're talking about a grandfather vs a kid in hopkins/wright-a 20 year age difference..

I thought that the winner of Tito-Winky had a contract or was mandatory for Nard...

OK. lets nip this in the bud internet tough guy. You dont know me. It kills me how dudes sit behind a computer and type away and talk tough. Im not the one kid. Respect is demanded chump. Again. Im not the one. Got it. Back to the topic:
Read between the lines. Winky is one of the hottest fighters out but there is no money in a Bhop/Winky fight. Whatever? Sounds like a duck to me no matter how you slice it.

lmao
how was i bening an internet tought guy?
cuz i called u ******ed?
hahahhahhaha
exactly tho
idk u
and u dont know me
so what the *** r u talkin bout

Ok. this has become painfully obvious. Su****ion #1 He chose to fight a relatively unknown in Taylor...fine. Taylor is an up and comer. Then he says he was going to fight Tito for 8 figures (which would have happened had Tito won). Why didnt he ever say I want the WINNER of Tito/Winky fight?? Su****ion #2.

Now he says there is "not enough money" in a Winky Wright bout. Yeah right!! Who wouldnt want to see that. Of course it would be a snoozefest but so what.!.!.! Are you kidding me? What am I missing? If it looks like a DUCK"ing", quacks like a "DUCK"ing, then it must be, right?!?!?!

Perhaps you should ask yourself why is Winky ducking Ouma?

no way i would pay to see them fight. unless they had a mad insane undercard.

e.g. mab-pac, jmm-morales, castillo-corrales, kostya tszyu-mayweather, klit-klit, arce-hussein, odlh-vargas, rjj-tyson. maybe if all these fights were on the undercard would i pay to see a snoozefest with winky-bhop. and at that i would prolly not watch those two fight.

Theres absolutely no reason for Hopkins to fight Winky. Not enough money for him to take a fight like that. He has a couple more fights in him left..and he wants it to be BIG money fights. Winky beat Mosely..at middleweight..which..is too entirely impressive..but he did dominate Tito..but BOTH of them werent true middleweights. Lets see him fight some good true middleweights before we claim Winky as a "star".
