Wright Decision.

First, I think the only reason JT is taking this fight is so he wont loose all his belts. Isn't the real reason this fight is happening thanks to the Sanctioning bodies. I do like Jt but I still dint believe he did enough to be crowned the champ over B-Hop. He did not fight his fight and B-Hp as always did what he always does aside from beating Jt form post to post in the latter rounds of the first fight. As far as winky goes he does not have the power but is too technically sound to be beaten by Jt. So Ronald "winky" wright By UD.

I thought Hopkins won the second fight more decisively than the first landing all those rights crosses.

I don't think Jt should be Champ either. B-Hop should have been able to retire the Champ seeing how Jt did not win but was given a gift both times. The fight was not explosive but B-Hop fought his fight and that made the difference , plus to be the man you have to beat the man which Jt clearly did not do in either fight.

Winky is coming up in weight facing as big as a middleweight as you can find. Taylor also has a much power in a middleweight as there is. That being said I don't care how tactful Wright is, Taylor is much stronger and larger than anyone he has ever seen. I see Taylor wearing Wright down very early and possibly getting the KO, a pretty clear UD at least.

Again...I like Taylor...problem is...he's been fighting my favorite fighters lately & if he get's by Wright...he'll have to fight two of my other favs...Abraham...& Felix Sturm.

Abraham in your above equation is very premature, don't you think?

Winky is stronger than 95% of the middleweights out there IMO. Mosley was a very strong man both in the ring, and in the weightroom even compared to middleweights 6 pounds up, and Wright had no problem moving him around. Apparently even Lacy has a hard time pushing Wright around in the ring from what I've read, and he's considered the strongest p4p boxer out there... taking into consideration he's not being hit by like 100 punches around like he was against Calzaghe.
