Eubank may of been 31, but he wasn't prime...He just come of 2 big losses to Collins and had come down from Light heavyweight. He was never the same after Watson, he was terrified to hit any1 hard.
@mab999 how the hell is ricky better when he got knocked out twice bad!!!! by two fighters Calzaghe came and dominated two fighters that have never been dominated b4 in their careers
In order to be a legend you have to beat a legend and the only good fighter Calaghe beat worth mentioning is Kessler.... Dont take me wrong i give him his props for that... But Calzaghe spent the last 10 years prior fighting nobodys and a past his prime Chris Eubank... So calzaghe's gonna have to do a lot better than that before people can start calling him a legend...
all u bernard hopkins fans r retarted.... all b-hop did 2 winky was hug and headbutt.... wut happened after? he got warned.... alot..... no points deducted... so in my opinion winky won the fight and dats cuz he didnt cheat
wright won the fight hopkins a dirty boxer all that holding and head butts thats his style of boxing not 1 point deduct thats some bullshit they warned him a bunch of times
this fight sucked ass! boxing is going under and its about time the fans got their money's worth with MMA. either boxing joins forces with Zuffa Inc and puts Mayweather against Pulver or Penn...or it crawls under a rock and dies !!!!
When Joe Calzaghe beats Kessler he'll be after Hopkins at light heavy. Hopkins will get smashed by Joe. Believe! Hopkins and Wright is too close to call. It's going to be a really good fight!
I want B-Hop to win but I have no idea. I guess logically Taylor drew with Wright and Taylor doesn't have the ring intelligence, variety of shots and general skill that B-Hop does. However Taylor has more strength and youth on his side and starts much quicker. Still, for some reason I can't see B-Hop losing - he's just too good. Hopkins by UD. (Though knocking Wright out would not be out of the question either and would be awesome!)
wrights too nice for smack talk. he's a great defensive fighter with p4p ko quality, no doubt. but bhop is the man. he is a master of fight prep and in great shape to do the biz on winky. i predict a chess match with a 8th round ko for bhop.
This will be an interesting match-up. Winky, although criticized for being boring, always keeps up a high pace in his matches. The older Hopkins is known for his great pacing of matches, building up from a slow pace in the earlier rounds to a higher pace in the final rounds. If Winky manages to keep a high pace for the whole match we could see the older Hopkins gas out.
I'm going to go with hopkins. You make a good point though. Hopkins for me, more often than not manages to produce. I know he's old, but I just think this may be another great preformance. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended in a draw though!
y'all who say this its gon be boring go watch a rocky film already. this is real boxing, just cuz it aint gon be much blood n KD's it don't mean it gon be boring. it gon be interestin in another way. i don't know who gon win but i think it's gon be a decision n a close one. i'd flip the scale towards bernard though
This is gonna be a boring ass fight! winky will win by decision and hopefully Hopkins hangs them gloves up! Im not Paying for this fight ill just bet on winky he is a true professional! he beat Taylor even though they called it a draw!! and Hopkins lost to him twice buddy!!
Hopkins to much for Wright, bigger, stronger, hits harder and more agressive. Hes gonna do to him what he did to Oscar cath him when he least expect it.
Its gonna be a great fight. Im a big fan of winky i seen him when he got knocked down like a million times in one fight and he made his greatest weakness at that time defense...his greatest strength and u have to admire that. Im going for winky all the way.
winky is gonna fuck b-hop up... too much defense. he dont run... b-hop is gonna keep comin at him, keep gettin punches picked off... winky got it.. WIN by UD
this is a real boxing fan's fight.if you watch boxing for the sport and not just to see someone get their face bashed in thennn this is the fight mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
the pillow thing was funny. Hopkins could floor him with one of those kidney punches he gave Oscar but if not, Wright wins by decision in a boring chessmatch fight.
both got airtight defense but Wright moves his hands way more than Hopkins and that'll be the difference on the scorecards in what figures to be a chess match
Wright is old also. Calzaghe even picks Hopkins. Wright doesn't have any power but Hopkins definitely does. There's no way Wright is going to outbox Hopkins. Wright's style won't work to his benefit against Hopkins either. I pick Hopkins.
I know their ages. I'm just saying that Wright isn't a young man. Anyway, Wright is a defensive minded counter puncher. He's not going to outslick a slick boxer like Hopkins.

I'm from the UK. Joe is not much. Hatton is the better one considering he actually fought someone in their Prime.
Who did Joe face.
a 44 year old? RJJ who was dangerously KO'd 5 years ago?
