    Hopkins is Ducking Winky

    I dont care what any of you say that are defending him. He is ducking Winky plain and simple. It's not necessarly a bad thing but thats what he's doing.

    I think its 50/50 with the Taylor fight and it wouldnt surprise me who won. Then he's going to finish off with Tarver because he can win and if he loses then no one will hold it against him because they will say that he moved up too far and that he was too old, even though his 2 big wins came against guys who were smaller then him and moved up.

    Winky is the guy for the 1st time who people really think could beat him and a fight people will love to see. He knew he was going to beat the one dementional Tito, the much smaller Oscar, and now a very inexperienced Taylor. He doesnt know if he can beat a guy like Winky anymore who looked very strong at 160 and has a very tough style. Most experts say that Winky can beat him but now Hopkins doesnt want to fight him? What kind of crap is that. He talks about Winky had his chance but he took the money against Mosley. Duh, why wouldnt he. All Hopkins does is talk about money and takes fights or doesnt take them because of it and now he's going to talk about Winky doing it.

    He just doesnt want to give Winky a shot at a very good legacy. He knows that if he loses to Taylor then people will say he was old or if he loses to Tarver then people will say that he was old and small but if he loses to Winky then people will start to question was he really great at all. They will say who did he really beat? A blown up Tito who Winky dominated worst and a very small and way past his prime Oscar. They will say did we let Hopkins play us? He never moved up in weight and he doesnt have a great resume besides Tito and Oscar and I just explained about them.

    The reason at the top why I said it maybe ok for him to duck him is because Hopkins was a beast in his prime and I think he would maybe lose now but wouldve kicked Winky's ass back then but there are still alot of questions around Hopkins that we will never know the answer too

    We all know that he's ducking Winky...He knows that Winky could beat his ass and he wont make as much money fighting him as he could do fighting Tarver/Glen/Jones...

    Hopefully Taylor will beat his ass and then he will fight Winky, tha's a fight I want to see...

        Ducking who? Tarver is a MUCH tougher fight then Wright. There is no way in hell that Wright would ever be able to beat Tarver and if Hopkins, at 40, spending his entire life at middle moves up "2" weight classes and beats the best light heavyweight in the world, that is some accomplishment.

          But if Tarver beats him, everyone will say that he was supposed to loose to the bigger guy...He should stay and fight the best at 160...Taylor and Winky.

            Your right, people will say that and it is a very dangerous fight. The guy has been at middleweight for his entire career, undefeated for over 12 years, held the title for 10, he more then earned the chance to move up for a huge money fight with Tarver.

                Who wouldn't duck Winky? He's no different than Chris Byrd except he's MUCH BETTER

                There's little interest from the fans
                The fight would be boring for fans who bought it

                However, Winky has become a HUGE name at this point, and a win over him would be huge for anyone in boxing

                  Before Winky even thought about moving up, people said Hopkins should prove himself and fight at Super Middle or LHW...now that he finally decides to do it, he gets bashed...what more do you guys want? it is like no one will give Hopkins respect unless he just keeps fighting every new entry to MW...it is like you want him to fight forever until he loses...people just want him to lose...

                    exactly people are so ****ling ******. Everyone talked about him moving up fighting Tarver, caUSE "hes been scared to move up in weight his whole career." Now hes moving up and people are saying hes scared to face Winky whos smaller. People just love to bash fighters. And we dont even know if hes going in weight. The man is preparing for a fight for the last 3 months and people are saying hes ducking some other opponent.
