Calzaghe will be remembered longer, but Winky was a much better boxer for my money. No ducking or looking for the easy option for Winky a true throwback.

We class the Hopkins fight as a legit win because, he won.
you class the hopkins win as legit win because boxrec says he won? oh yeah and williams beat lara legit and the lewis/holyfield fight was a legit draw. let's ignore all corruption if it helps our favorite fighter. boxrec says he won so it must be true. how can a guy running into punches all fight win? because he tried hard? garbage. effort does not equal substance. learn how to score boxing.Last edited by daggum; 12-15-2011, 07:07 PM.

I liked Winky but he is not even close to Joe's level in my mind. Winky pissed away opportunities in his career, for what reason, I don't know. I realized he was ducked a lot but he spent too many years away from the ring when he could have remained relevant and had some big fights...plus he priced himself out of plenty of big fights when he was still close to his prime.
Calzaghe could have fought some more guys when he was younger but skill for skill, Joe was better.

To then infer Winky did more in going up in weight and winning, and not ANY title. Dude you've not only contradicted yourself, but also completely undermined any possible point you could have had.Last edited by deejd; 12-15-2011, 07:45 PM.

your a joke if your basing it off of calzaghe beating winky. do you even know what freakin weight class winky was? he bumped up to middleweight near then end and met hopkins at 170 and was cheated. joe and winky aint near the same weight so its a stupid argument. one fighter waited until his last few fights to leave his backyard, even then fighting old fighters. better protection job then arum with pacquiao.
