Isn't Winky-BHOP the same as Mayweather-Marquez?

was bhop still another 10 pounds heavier tho?

pretty much.. for some reason bernard seems to get a pass for it though.
I for one think it's bull****.

Good point. His biggest fights were against DLH and Tito, both nautral welterweights.

Weight-wise, yeah but style-wise hell no. Winky-Hopkins was a horrible fight with Hopkins fighting dirty. Marquez-Mayweather is much more watchable than Wright-Hopkins, imo.

In his prime he beat everyone around. Hagler gets ATG love 4 it, but B-Hop gets h8. HE can't help who's out there.

Hearns, Duran, Leonard > DLH, Winky and Trinidad.

Also, Hager fought other solid guys and his fights were far more exciting.

You're knocking B-Hop for not having the opposition that Hagler had? Whose fault is that? Trinidad had MW belts, Duran had none.

Hopkins gets a lot of love around here for some reason, despite losing to any elite bigger then him cept Tarver who had to drain 30 pound or so from Rocky movie.
