Personally, I like different types of fights - they don't all have to be the first round of Hagler-Hearns! Hopkins/Wright is a good matchup of two very skilled boxers, and while chances are good they're not gonna go toe to toe in the middle of the ring, I'll still watch the fight just to see two consummate professionals at work.
So why cant it be at 160 or even 168?

170 is a copout and only reduces Winky's options.

Hopkins at this stage is playing the arch manipulator and I just dont buy it.

Why not fight another guy at light heavy, why not move up to cruiser?....no, he calls out a guy that the guy that beat him last got a decision over and asks him to move up 10 pounds...

Its ridiculous....
