    Well, the odds I'm seeing for a KO in this fight are about 4 or 5 to 1.

    But just a question. Where do you rank Hopkins all-time if he KO's Winky in an impressive style?

    Or, if you want, where does a KO win put Winky?

    5 to 1 on a knockout? I wouldn't waste a dime if the odds were 20 to 1.

    All bull**** aside, Hopkins has a 50% chance of KOing Wright if he keeps a solid workrate up. I don't see Wright being anywhere in this fight either, it will be a Hopkins wide UD by my estimation.

    If Bernard can beat Winky it would be something incredible.

    Man, you guys are all very cynical and not very imaginative. I didn't ask whether you thought this would be a **** borefest - everyone knows that's very likely. I'm just trying to liven things up a little bit on the admittedly very odd chance that amazing could happen. Jeez.

    It was a good question, Scientist. Don't let the responses get you down.

    I think a KO win for him would raise his standing even further. Stopping a pound for pound guy at the age of 42 would be incredible.

    Winky stopping Bernard would be a nice feather in Winky's cap, especially since Hop is still considered formidable (even at his age) and has never been stopped.

    I am not expecting a KO, but I think this will be a better fight than a lot of people are predicting.

    That's a bold prediction, I got Wright winning by UD. I'll probably make a small play on the draw too.

    It's not a bold prediction, based on styles, size and historical statistics, Hops should easily control Wright all night and at the very least win a 117-111 score.

    When you have a fighter who has a history of a hard time with movers, and one who has to plant to get off his best work, that's not going to work at all vs. Hopkins.

    I've got quite a bit on this one, like I had quite a bit on Williams beating horrible Margarito by a wide decision.:hey

    It's bold when you say there's a 50% chance of Hopkins knocking out Wright. Wright will be the more active fighter thus the judges giving him the fight. Even though I thought Hopkins beat Taylor both times, the judges were more impressed with Taylors aggressiveness, that's what I see in this fight. Besides, you don't know how a 42 year old fighter is going to look like coming off a 13 month layoff.

    One thing is damn sure, Winky is not going to KO Hopkins.
