Comebacking ring legend Bernard Hopkins says he going to put a beating on Winky Wright in their PPV clash on Saturday in Las Vegas. "He’s not the slickest southpaw that I've fought," stated Hopkins. "I've fought many of them. I think I got nine knockouts out of ten. I had one of the oldest, slickest southpaws in my camp, who’s the second trainer, John David Jackson. I’ve seen every southpaw that I could imagine on tape or in the ring and Winky Wright is not one of the slickest ones. He’s one of the durable ones. He's takes a licking and he keeps on ticking. Winky Wright has the ability to absorb a lot of punishment, and that’s where you’ll see a reincarnation of Bernard Hopkins and William Joppy, because I will never stop punching. His face will change from round one, to round two, to round three or whenever his corner and the referee feels that he had enough."
