Wright is so technically superior in everyway to ANYONE else at 160, I'm not sure even Hopkins, nor Taylor could beat him. Handspeed is De-La-Hoya-esq, with better defense, and a pinpoint puncher, PLUS - He's a southpaw.
Wright is very techinical, but he creates matchup hell being a southpaw. Hopkins maybe still be the techincal genius he is, but his age showed against Eastman and DLH giving up the first 4-5 rounds in both fights. He can't do that against Winky. But all that talk is premature, he still has to get past Taylor on July 16th. Hopkins is fighting for his living and his image now, he's ripe for Taylor to take him out. It'll be tough, but not impossible.
Taylor-Wright will be a fight one day, alot of fun it will be to watch.
