Really? Because I seem to remember an unpolished Jermaine Taylor beating Hopkins twice. Taylor is a very good fighter in his own right but to say that Hopkins would embarrass Miranda is crazy. Maybe he could steal a decision by running away from Pantera but even that is doubtful. Hopkins is an all time great however at this point in his career he is best served fighting guys his own age like Antonio Tarver and Winky Wright if he is to stand a chance of embarrassing anybody.
Totally agree,B Hop may be technically superior to Miranda but no way he's going to embaress Miranda.No way.
Excellent example overhand right,JT used his brute strenght and force and he beat Hopkins. Miranda would also be letting his hands go more. It's not a fight B Hpp would want at this time.No way.
I agreed up until Winky's name came up. Winky will never be embarassed by Hopkins. Winky is too good for that and he's no Tarver.Quote:

I do agree that it would be tough for anyone to embarress Winky but against Quartey he didn't look that impressive, he might be geeting close to the end of the line. Also at 170 pounds Winky might have some problems. He is definitely as skilled if not more skilled than B-Hop but Winky didn't have much pop at Jr. Middle or Middleweight so fighting Hopkins at 170 might be a problem. Honestly I think that right now Miranda might be too much for either of them.
