Prime can be iffy to nail down with any fighter really but Hopkins was more aggresive while retaining the sharpshooting at 'peak', where as Winky was one of the few defensive types who didn't rely greatly on the backfoot but high elbow guard. I think Hopkins would be able to open that tight lid up and be more mobile in and out doing it. Winky at peak was not the one to put you on heels or come in. Hopkins more gears, wu 12 I think.
Tough call but it would be a difficult fight to both score and watch.
Hopkins beats any version of stinky.
It would be tough to score but BHOP would figure something out and take the UD.
Hopkins UD.
We got to see how it would sort of play out prime for prime when they fought in 07.
I predict 5 punches thrown per round
I think a more accurate statement would be to predict 5 landed punches per round. ;)Quote:

Hopkins wins, Winky's best weight was light middle.
Actually it would depend on what version of each fighter were on about, Winky Wright used to be a slickster then turned into a more aggressive fighter. Coming forward behind that berlin wall like defense, where as B-Hop used to be more aggressive then turned into more a slick/defensive fighter.Quote:

I'd rather watch grass grow.
