Why Didn't BHOP ever fight Winky?

Hopkins lead right wasn't a money punch at all later in his career. It was basically a punch that he used just to score with. Winky would walk him down all night and takes a decision.

Its easy to say that now, after the two JT losses.

I don't think anybody is saying he would knock winky out with it. Winky's chin is damn good and Hopkins, as you said, later in his career hardly had the boom on it he once had. However, as you said, he'd use it to score which is what he'd need to do.

i agree but B-HOP would have to throw that lead right right when Winky was jabbing..wich means he would get lit up from that jab

i know, iknow,


its just a jab, but his jab won him fights. he dominating becuase of that jab

I don't know. JT is physically the strongest middleweight now and that's why he was causing B-Hop problems. Hopkins basically had no choice but to coast and hope to win a few early rounds and try to take him out later. Winky took the fight to a 175 lb middleweight who had about 3-4 inches on him and fought to a draw, at the very LEAST. That is special, IMO.

I think he would **** with Bernard because Bernard wasn't a power puncher when he started getting older. Prime Winky > Old Bernard. Prime Bernard is a different story, though.
