Not saying it would be any different, but... Hopkins was better at 160 than LHW, and Wright is certainly better at 160 than 170. I just feel like it would have been awesome to have Hopkins be able to make the weight one more time or something. Have him fight Wright before Taylor, or if he beat him (which he very well could have), after.
tbh i thought Winky adopted the wrong game plan, he should of stuck to his Boxing instead of trying to make Hopkins fight, he tried to put it on Hopkins too much imo.
That is why I'm not a big fan of Hopkins.His biggest wins are over Bloated WW's in Trinidad and Hoya.Pavlik moved up to 170,a weight he's never fought at against Hopkins
When Hopkins finally decided to fight some one around his weight class ,He ended up losing to Taylor Twice and Jones bitd etc.Winky Wright also had never fought at 170 yet another example of Hopkins picking on lower weight fighters
If the fight was @ 160 I'd favor Wright back then
