Can Winky Bring Hopkins Out of Retirement?

[champ007]

Bernard wants Taylor to lose, that's why he goes on about,if Taylor loses he has no where to go,and the he's boxing's "Boy" until he gets beat. Trust me he'll be ringside to see him lose. He's being a good sport about it now,cause he won his fight. but he still has "bad intentions" for Jermaine.

if winky wins i think hopkins fights him

last night on Stephen A. Smith he sounded very, very convincing in the fact that he wasnt going to fight again. he called what lennox did beautiful and said he wanted to emulate that, goin out on top.

I don't think so.

Because, if winky beats Taylor soundly,

winky>taylor>hopkins -> i know it doesn't work that way, rock paper scissors stuff, but thats the impression it will give.

Basically, if Winky schools TAylor or beats him convincingly, Taylor beat Hopkins or at least made it close (don't aruge about taht here) - therefore, Hopkins ain't that great because he was competitive with Taylor whereas Winky won it clearly.

If Taylor KOS Winky, that makes Hops look awesome - he neutralized Taylors 'killer' offence that knocked WINKY out, and Winky supposedly is top 2 defence in the game today.

Taylor winning makes Hopkins look GREAT.

Taylor losing badly makes Hppkins look mediocre.

Nah. It would go that way if Hopkins had never fought again but the way he went up and dominated Tarver, no one would say that

You saw it too? He was very convincing that he wasn't going to box anymore.

[ROSEWOOD]

I dont know man, its hard for me to belive most atheltes when they talk about retirment, e****ally when its a guy like Hopkins who has been known to go back on his word. I believe he is a fighter and he may sit around for a few months but after that he will get the urge and want to do it again. Atleast, I think so

No.................

The X will come out for 10 Mill and his belts

I think B-Hop will want his middleweight belts back if winky drops taylor. I mean Winky is the one everyone avoids and if he has the balls to call out B-Hop if and after he wins, then the public will demand it.

It would probably follow the DLH PBF fight in the late fall.


I'd pay to see Winky get his ass whoopped. After that fight, WW, B-Hop, DLH will all retire.

Honestly, I think B-hop will do it if the money is right. 20 mill for Winky versus B-Hop too much, but 10 mill to B-Hop and 5 to Winks sounds closer to reality. If Golden Boy can figure out how to make more money on top of that, it will happen.

Fighters fight, and Winky is about same age and era as hop. I think Hop likes a challenge.
