In his prime hopkins would win fair easily... yeah i know styles make fights etc etc but winky drew with Taylot (even if u give it twinky it was close) hopkins in his prime was much better than Taylor is now and was when he fought winky, that ther eis no question about, hell i think had hopkins gone into the fight the way he did Tarver he would of beaten Taylor.

I still think this is a bullshit fight, that winky is well undersized and hopkins should be fighting other people without question. He has picked a guy with a big name who well get big money with as little risk as possible...

Now should hopkins win i will give him some credit yes, even at this weight winky wont be a push over and can/will cause hopkins some problems and could possibly nick it (depends how hopkins has aged since tarver fight) I just don't see this win as being that big a deal in the grand scheme of things... for whomever wins;
