    Hopkins is an awesome fighter, but he is beatable and i think Winky can do it if he applies himself. The way to beat B-Hop is to be busy, Wright is gonna have to work hard and apply constant pressure and just be the busier guy.

    I think this fight is going to be a DRAW:lol:

    As I have been saying in ages on this forum, Hopkins is a natural 168 or even 175 lbr.

    When he fought Roy Jones, Hopkins was clearly the bigger guy. Jones moved up to HW whereas Hopkins stayed at 160, fighting the likes of Tito and DLH, both of whom have no business at 160.

    I never thought very highly of Hopkins, especially when he looked totally unimpressive against Taylor. But when he moved up and defeated Tarver. That was then the time where he proved to me that he can beat guys of his size (well Tarver is slightly bigger than him).

    Winky is another guy who is too big for a 154 lbr, he really should be at 160 - 168. But he proved he can look good against a legit 160 lbr in Taylor.

    I have a feeling this fight will be very close and controversial.
