What the fuck? Here are some quotes from the Winky Wright - Hopkins presser:
WINKY WRIGHT
On taking on the challenge of a tough fight in Bernard Hopkins…
"I'll never back down. I've never been scared, and I'll never be scared. I'll always come to fight. I didn't pick this fight with Bernard, Bernard picked me.
"Till the day I hang up my gloves, I come to fight and I come to win.
On his opponent…
"All you (Bernard) are is a boogeyman. And after July 21, the Boogey man will rest. Nobody's got to be scared of the Boogey man anymore."
BERNARD HOPKINS
What this fight means to you…
"History shows you're only as good as your last fight. And look at my last fight. I crushed Antonio Tarver.
"I'm in this game because I know I can do it."
On strategy against Wright…
"I've got it all. I'm a chameleon, I've got everything. You try to come at me, I'll Sugar Ray Robinson you. Winky's style is directly in your face, but not that night. He's going to come at me but I won't be there. I'm an illusion..
"I guarantee you won't see Winky Wright after July 21. They talk it but I talk it and I walk it. I'm 42 years old and I'm going to whoop his ass. Doubt me? Check my record.
"It's 2007, I'm 42 years old and I can't wait for you to get your ass whooped by a 42 year old.
Prediction for July 21…
"Come July 21, Winky Wright will be no more. Anyone who's got something against Winky, no worries, as of July 21 Winky Wright is over.
Final thoughts…
"All you (Winky) are is a Twinkie. Winkys a Twinkie."
OMG. Winky calling Bernard the Boogeyman? Bernard calling Winky a twinkie? This fight is gonna tank on PPV.
BTW, I've lost some respect for B-Hop since he joined GBP and through the Mayweather-ODLH buildup. He was talking so much shit. He's definitely not keeping it real. B-Hop is probably the most boring elite fighter of our generation. At least Mayweather, had a lot of good action packed fights and even exciting fights under welter. B-Hop has been a bore his whole career and epitomizes a fighter that doesn't give a shit about the fans and will do whatever it takes to win. This guy didn't fight for 2/3 of the first JT fight and said that he won the fight. B-Hop annoys the hell outta me.
