I think we're up for seeing a great fight in hopkins - winky
Bieng 42 and bieng bernard hopkins isnt the same as bieng 34 and bieng someone like arturo gatti..

I cant think of an occasion in which bernard has truely got hit hard..
He's a defensive great..Even james toney who is or at least was a defensive god has been hit flush with giant heavyweight shots..(Lucky for him toney has a chin of steel)
But i really cannot think of a time when hopkins has taken a beating..
He has trained like its religion for what seems like forever.. His work ethic is only matched by few people Pbf for one..
If you catch my drift he's a young 42..The way in which he boxed and took apart his opponents in his biggest fights is the thing thats saved his youth..
Come fight night there will be no excuses for either fighter..I truely beleieve this..
Whether winky win or Bhop win..You couldnt take a thing away from either guy
Peace
