Who is Hopkins' biggest threat?

I'm personally torn between Tarver and Winky. Tarver is just a bigger man, and Hopkins has been at 160 forever. Winky on the other hand has outstanding defence and boxing skills. He has the patience to sit back and pop Hopkins with those quick little southpaw jabs.

Thoughts?

winky and jermain are threats, but i dont think moving up (especially at this point) will be good for hopkins.

Winky is his biggest threat, thats y he wont fight him.
If he beats taylor he will move up, not sure y!!!
Winky is the best middleweight at the moment, but ppl have avoided him for years so i guess he knows he wont get hopkins

I wouldnt say his biggest threat but I think Felix Sturm is a dangerous man who deserves a shot, after all, he has never really been beaten and BHOP is carrying aroung sturms WBO Belt. Love him or hate him Sturm has been acrive since DLH, doing well and slipping in the ranks go figure?

Winky and Tarver are threats. I think Hopkins will win the rematch with Taylor. Winky has a difficult defense to penetrate unless you really mix it up with him. Hopkins would be confused with Winky's defense. Tarvers size might distract Tarver. I think a better fight would be Hopkins and Johnson. Johnson would bring out the Hopkins who we all know and love.
