The Winky Wright fight wasn't as close as people say IMO, I scored it 116-112 Hopkins. Winky also fought an excellent fight and had the style and frame to fight at a higher weight, he'd been fighting at MW for a few fights prior to the Hopkins fight and only jumped up 10lbs to fight him at a 170 catch-weight. Most fans agree that Hopkins beat Taylor in the rematch, alot think he won the first fight aswell but I scored that norrowly for Taylor even though Hopkins came on strong. Trinidad was a good win but Tito wasn't suited for MW. He still had good power though and that's why he destroyed Joppy, but he wasn't suited to MW.
Calzaghe beating Hopkins is a bigger scalp than anything Hopkins or Jones have done. And before some mindless buthugger brings up Ruiz, that was a great achievement, but not a great win. Ruiz was a Don King protected garbage fighter. Still impressive for a former MW to beat him though, definitely.
