no chance in hell. if winky had power to keep taylor at bay, maybe. but he doesn't and taylor is going to walk right in on him, outjab him and then pounce on him. this is going to be way easier for taylor than either of his hopkins fights.

whoooa I dunno about that, Hopkins may be a great boxer but hes still old as the hills and Winky would have his way with him too.. now I do believe Hopkins goes out with a win (or maybe I want to believe that cuz I cant stand Tarver), I dunno though im still pulling for Winky in this fight.. I know its gonna be real tough for him to win, I like Jermain Taylor too.. that guys a stud.

Too? Taylor didn't "have his way" with Hopkins in either fight from where I was sitting.

winky wright is no hopkins by any stretch. too many people have bought into this hype they made with winky beating tito with a jab and beating an old mosely. that's it, that's all he's done. mark my words taylor will have very little problem getting by him, anyone know the odds for that fight or maybe i'll just look. i doubt winky will be the favorite but if he is money is going on taylor, quickly.

[Kass101]

if i was gonna take any of those bets id take taylor win by ko,tko thats good money to be made.

I'd never have the balls to ever bet money on anything other than just picking a winner. All the specifics on how and when and all that, that's just seems crazy to try and bet money on. Oh the life of a gambler.

See I like Hopkins but I still remember the Roy Jones fight when JR knocked him out with one arm broken.. and Mosley is only 35 man, Hopkins is 41.. Hopkins is a finese boxer he can last long but still... Im still going with Winky in this fight, hes the more experienced fighter.. hes fought names, Taylor hasnt fought anyone but Hopkins.

Huh? Roy Jones knocked out Hopkins when they fought? I thought he won a decision?
