Im in agreement there, it just seems a bit silly to put off retirement just to bring Winky way beyond his weight class. 160lbs was Winky's limit as far as I was concerned. I think Hopkins will pull off the win, but I really want him to stop before he goes too far with this career extension...

And a figh with Taylor makes more sense for either of them than a fight with each other. I just don't understand B Hop's thinking,and even if he wins,what will it add to his legacy...it'll fuel the critics who say his biggest wins have come against smaller guys.He should have retired after the Tarver fight.
