People who say Hopkins has faced Smaller Opponents

[-Hyperion-]

To be honest you could say the same about Winky Wright though....

Or any fighter for that matter (except Ali)

not really if you really are informed and objective...you give credit were it is due, i give credit to hopkins where it is due and i still dont rate him squat....

I think it's safe to say you're not being objective if you don't rate him squat or if you think he hasn't accomplished s***.

Would Antonio Tarver be one of those "smaller opponents"?

tarver is an average fighter he's overrated because he koed jones. joe will be the best fighter he has fought since jones

Not really. You can especially do that with Wright.

(Going into a hater's prespective here. I love Winky Wright and none of this I actually believe)

What the **** did Winky Wright do? Sure he unified the division, but against Shane Mosley. Shane Mosley was an obvious blown up lightweight who hadn't looked good against De La Hoya or Raul Marquez. He got a gift against Oscar the second time and took roids which still didn't help him. That's known as Winky's biggest accomplishment? Whoopdy ****ing doo. He also faught bronco mckart three times. What the hell did Mckart do to deserve this? He's the guy that got knocked out by Pavlik in 6 rounds and Winky fought him 3 times? How ****ty. Not to mention he lost to his best competetion. He lost to Vargas, Simon, and Vasquez.

Not to mention the 160 winky was a joke too. He beat shot to bit pieces Quartey and Reality tv star Sam Soliman. He also got a gift against Jermain Taylor and jabbed off a blown up welterweight who hadn't fought in a year.

Then he goes on to lose against a 42 year old Hopkins. What a freaking joke.

(Back into reality mode)

Alright, see? I just did to wright what 95% of people do on here.

hagler is better than hopkins, but i still like hopkins more as a fighter.

Why? Hagler was so great and much more entertaining!! A wrecking machine!!
Hagler was a textbook fighter!! He fought like a real fighter should fight!
I like Hopkins too though.
