How though? Do you think he just overwhelms him or do you think Winky is overrated? Why do you think that? Have to say I disagree. I can envision a somewhat close to decision due to lack of offense or spectacular blows on Winky's part but the only way I see a blowout is if it is in Winky's favor. I DEFINITELY don't see a KO happening.
Taylor would not attack a 40 year Hopkins. He won't attack Wright. Wright will force the fight. In turn making Taylor's very good jab the controlling factor in the fight. Wright will also see that the punches from the naturally bigger Taylor will hurt more than the ones that came from the smaller Mosley and Trinidad. Everybody thinks its a bad fight for Taylor. I think it's a bad fight for Wright. I have the same gut feeling for this that I had for Hatton-Collazo. Not my fault they took it from Collazo.
He did attack Hopkins, it just took him a little while (His first big fight I think he was a little jirttery) but it happened eventually, especially in the second fight. He pressed the action (though there was hardly any "action" that fight.)
