Joe Calzaghe's best opponet

[StackMo]

Total horse****. Winky could not make 147 now if he amputated a leg.


Let the excuses flow.

Kessler is his best win.

Had Winky ever fought above 160? Did Winky have the 20 months or so that Hopkins did to grow back into LHW? Did Hopkins still need to head butt and foul his way to a win?

Hopkins- Natural 175 pounder
Winky- Natural 147 pounder

I would say if someone outweighs me by TWO STONE they kind of have the adavantage.

Hopkins fought at 160 his whole career.

a razor thin win by the way, i thought winky won 8 or 7 rounds.....but bernard was much more flashy.......

Who cares, Winky went up to 175 by choice, he wanted to fight Hop at 175.

Hopkins started his career at 175, but since he lost his first fight, he realized that he would have to starve his way down to 160 and fight smaller guys to have any chance in this sport.

He has good discipline and watches what he eats and trains hard.

it's not like he had serious trouble making 160....he weighed 156 for a fight as late as September 2004.

A guy like Castillo never weighed 131 for a lightweight title fight or Tito weighing 143 for a title fight @ welterweight. They were much more "oversized" for their divisions than Hopkins was IMO at middle, even if they started lower.

[RichCCFC]

Hopkins resume is all built around wins on 2 Welterweights, says it all really doesn't it.

How many fights did Hopkins have a light heavyweight? Let the excuses continue...
