    I can see Winky stopping Bernard, easily, Bernard has all my respect in the world, but hes 42, hasnt fought in a year, and Winky still very much at the top of his game. Its gonna be a bitter pill for Bhop to swallow when Winky beats him up tomorrow night.

    Come on, Winky couldn't stop guys much smaller than himself at 154. He isn't stopping a man who is bigger than himself at 170. Especially when that man has a proven beard, and skill like Hopkins does.

    Nothing wrong with that. We all have a tendency to overrate fighters we like. Props to you for being man enough to admit it.

    This is one of those fights where I like both guys. I wouldn't be shocked if Winky beats Hopkins (who happens to be my favorite current fighter) but I don't think either guy is likely to get stopped.

    No way any man light heavy or lower stop The Holy Executioner. End of.

    Least of all a man who can't knock out light middle weights, let alone middle weights, let alone light heavy weights.

    The truth is that Hopkins is getting overrated at this stage in his career after his win against Tarver. Just take a step back and look at Hopkins's last 5 fights:

    Delahoya - A fight where he looked like the guys step-dad he was so much bigger and stronger than him. And he was losing early on.

    Eastman - A decisive victory but not even close to impressive. Eastman then went on to lose to both Abraham and Miranda (getting stopped by Miranda).

    Taylor I & II - Now at the time of these fights Taylor's aura was one of a young, strong, 'powerful', 'dangerous' and skilled future champ. Hops, although I felt he won the first and lost the second, had alot of trouble with him. We have seen since that Cory Spinks took him to a very close fight, Ouma took all of his shots and was very competitive and Winky beat the hell out of him. My point is Taylor is not as good as he was billed to be, no where near as strong as powerful, yet Hopkins couldn't beat him convincingly.

    Tarver - This was a great performance by Hopkins. Yes. But What did he really have to do? He had Tarver befuddled. He won't get Winky befuddled. He was able to win that fight without really inflicting too much damage or working too hard. Tarver was taking out of his game, a game that wasn't that good to begin with.

    I'll say it again, Hopkins is being overrated and his "Fountain of Youth" bull**** has run out, it just hasn't been exposed yet. Look for it to be exposed in this fight.

    if i had a free 1 million pound bet and was offered 50 to 1 on a winky ko win or was offered 1/20 on that winky would not win by ko i would take the 1/20 on shot.

    people making to much of hopkinsd age.

    his punch output is low but there is nothing wrong with his chin or defensive abiltities especially v a light puncher like wright.

    Stop??? I can see a UD but not stopped....I'm leaning towards Winky but I can't count out Bhop b/c he's crafty and bigger....Speed will play a major roll...if Hop is still fairly fast like he showed against Tarver that will be very good for him...if he looks slower...Wink will control the fight with his defense and Jab. But no KO at the Hands of Wink....If there is a KO it's going to be Hop handing it to Ronald.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Winky win, but stop B-Hop :nut Can't even imagine that. B-Hop has the style to beat Winky. I'm still don't know who will win. It can go either ways. Can't wait until tomorrow :bbb

    Winky by KO is akin to playing the lottery. Possible but very unlikely:good

    I have tons of respect for both fighters, and definitely see this going 12 outside of a cut situation that forces a stoppage.

    Oh, he's gonna land on him. He's gonna bust him up with the jab and the straight left. But I think a punch that is gonna be really effective for Winky is the lead right hook to the body. :deal

    First thing, there wont be a knockout in this fight...Bhop and Winky both have awesome chins, and i think Hop still has it and im picking him to win it, mainly because his elusiveness and footwork...thats the way to beat Winky it seems footwork, or make HIM moveback instead of letting him push you back, my opinion though, cause no one really knows how to beat Winky or BHop because theyve never been beat convincingly in their primes...Its a toss up, but ill take Bhop just because i dont like Winky(my avatar can probably explain why)
