    I know most will disagree but i think Winky won the fight against Hopkins and the only reason Winky was all marked up was because of Hopkins leading with his head.

      I think it was a mistake for him to fight Hopkins at 170. He was a good Middleweight, the combination of money and nobody wanting to fight him, he had no choice but to go up to 170. Same as Pavlik he went up to 170 to fight Hopkins because there were no big fights at 160.

      He also didn't do horrible against Williams for a 37 year old off for 2 years. I thought Williams could have forced a stoppage but Winky hanged in there and just lost a dec.

        Na I think Wright got beat up, with the dirty fighting and everything. That is Hopkins game when he can't hit you he beats you up with dirty tactics. I like that. Do whatever it takes as long as it's biting, kicking, kneeing, hitting in the back or low blowing of the head. Occasional elbows and headbutts here and there, hitting the body while you're tied up and the ref is telling you to stop from the other side. Those are the 3 most tolerable dirty tactics.

          it's not that crazy some people even think calzaghe beat hopkins so you never know what some people will or will not see when they watch fights.

            I think Wright did enough to win and only looked beat up because Hopkins used dirty tactics. I wouldnt call it a robbery at all but i though Winky at least deserved a draw.
