Hopkins is in the top 3 best middleweights of all time

Winky Wright is perhaps one of the top 3 defensive fighters of all time...I mean this guy has superb defense and he doesn't have to run around the ring to apply it...

With all that being said let's be real for a moment....Neither is known for thrilling fights...Are they good YES...exciting..NO

Now they face off in July......Trying to selld this fight is like trying to convince a class of High School grads to attend Bingo at the senior home and blow off prom to do it....

I hope the under card is exciting as all hell

stage the fight in a bed shop. thn everyone can get in bed get nice and cumfy and hopkins and wright can dance all night and send everyone to sleep.

Guys guys this is GB promotions they have an exelent Marketing dept.

The story of this fight is can a 42 year old Hopkins fight the high level of boxing that Wright will give him. This would have been tough for a 38 year old Hopkins. I know he beat Tarver, but Tarver was a little distracted by his role in the forgettable Rocky finale. If Hopkins wins this fight I will be extremely impressed.. That would be a great accomplishment. If Delahoya wins next Sat. it means more that Floyd was too small and not as good as we thought. Yet, I think Floyd is the real deal. Although the size difference on the 7 day weigh in was still alot. 158 for Oscar to 150 for FLoyd. So fight time Floyd will be about 148 or 147, and Oscar will be 154. Oscar has the size advantage and a real one it looks like. More than I would have thought. Do you guys think he can blitz Floyd in round one and make him fight like Hagler did Hearns? Or was Hearns more of a fighter with a warrior mindset?? I know Hearns had the power to knock out Hagler so maybe that is why Hearns went to war.. I wish this were next Sat. so the fight would be tonight. I am pumped for this fight..

LOL CC

It may not be exciting as in the actual fight(although it COULD be),selling the fight won't be hard. They are both P4P,both are legends,masters at their craft. I initially was turned off by it but I'll still watch it. Could turn out to be better than most expect and the winner will have a strong say on P4P top slot.

HOW ABOUT WATCH THIS FIGHT OR WE WILL MAKE U WATCH A JOE CALZAGHE FIGHT !!!:):):):)

This fight doesnt need selling

People in the know are fully aware of the quality of this fight . Their careers speak for itself just as this fight sells itself

You don't.

This is definatly one for the real fans, people said the same thing about B-hop v Tarver and that was a spectacle, this one is even better, this goes a long way to sorting out who's the best between 160-175, Calzaghe must fight the winner of this fight if he wants to stake claim to being the best 160-175, same goes for Taylor.

Agreed, tactical/boring fight I dont think so. To a real boxing fan, watching this fight is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

It better be f*ckin' Tyson vs de la Hoya!

You shouldn't have to sell it. These are the two best p4p fighters IMO. If someone doesnt have interest in this then they aint real boxing fans.
