Bernard Hopkins coming out of "retirement" to fight Winky at 170 lbs on July 21st.
Unless you're a fan of technical boxing, that fight will bore you to tears. Luckily, I love that shit, so this could be a great one. I give Winky the early advantage.
Hopkins will school Winky. Unless age suddenly caught up to Hopkins, I see him winning this in a walk. I'm just glad he isn't fighting Roy Jones. Jones is my favorite boxer since the 80s, but I don't want to see him fight again.
Yeah, Roy is kind of what is wrong with boxing, but he was such a cool fighter to watch for awhile I let that go. I don't want to see him get killed. He should have retired after he beat Ruiz.
Winky beat Taylor (Shut up Ken! lol) and I bet that is a better fight and much closer then people think it will be. Actually Winky isn't boring, he will fight if people fight him, plus he stands flat footed now and just uses his elbows and shoulders for defencse, very old school. Hopkins is very dirty and boring the last 3 or 4 years (except for the Traver fight) so we will see what he has. Hell Virgil Hill is still a force at Cruiserweight at 44, Bernard can probably be one as long as he wants to as well.
