Old, overweight Winky, barely

The only great fight he has had was against Joe Calzaghe and they came up about even either way.
And the Pavlik fight, but still I thought it was obvious his style would do that to Pavlik.

You can't compare him and his competition to his prime because the guys he is fighting aren't in their prime either, except Pavlik but that was obvious if HOpkins fought he would win like that, at least to me.
It's not ridiculous to say btw. Some people get better with age.
Look at Randy Cotoure.
Name one of those guys besides maybe Calzaghe that were anywhere near their prime. Tarver? Winky?
