Hopkins is Ducking Winky

[xKillingJokex]

I can understand somewhat why fighters would duck Winky.cause he has great defense and is a southpaw. But someones gotta step up to the plate and fight this guy. Hes not unbeatable..i mean..Vargas beat this guy..maybe hes a different fighter since then..but..just saying he can be beaten.

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...

People said that because the only 2 guys he beat was Oscar and Tito who were smaller and they wanted X to have a challenge. No one knew that Winky would come up and dominate Tito like he did and you couple that with the Mosley wins then he is the guy you are supposed to face.

You look at things one way but what about the fact that Hopkins said he would never move up and he's going to finish at 160. Now Winky looks good and now all of asudden Hopkins wants to move up.

Its like you said. Everyone was telling him to move up and he wouldnt do it. Now all of asudden he wants to?

I find it funny that the same people who were bashing Hopkins for fighting blown up fighters are now speaking against him for not fighting a blown up Winky Wright. If Hopkins fights and beats Winky Wright we're just going to hear the same garbage over and over so do us all a favor you Hopkins haters and stfu...it's getting old.

And besides, he's going after Tarver someone naturally bigger than him. It doesn't matter what he tries to do to solidify his greatness, you people will still hate on.

hes said he wanted to move up before Winky fought Tito

When did Hopkins ever say he's never moving up?

The way I see, DLT, is that you're such a big Mayweather-nuthugger that you constantly try to look for ways to bring Hopkins down as he is the only one in Mayweather's way to being the true p4p king.

You clown. Did you read where I wrote that a prime Hopkins would destroy Winky. I think a prime Hopkins is probally better then Floyd. The point is he is past his prime. Jack the Jackass

[ottoevans]

hes would still beat Winky

Sure, bob..
I'll see how quick you make another thread ripping on Hopkins.

I don't think Hopkins is ducking Winky at all. Actually i think after this fight with Taylor he's going to retire because of age. But Hopkins i think would win the fight in a split decision because Winky has some serious defense.

If your a "real" boxing fan, a Winky/Hopkins fight would be a good one, it's not a fight for an average fan...

I think Winky would give it to Hop. His defense is tremondous, plus he's a lefty.

It would be a good fight, probably won't happen since Hop's claiming Winky had his chance....
