I think this is an intriguing fight, but it just doesnt seem right for me. Hopkins is one of my favourite fighters but I would really prefer for him to retire. Winky as good as he is, was at his limit and possibly best as a middleweight. He has no excuse to be fighting at this catch weight. If Hopkins or Winky should have gone anywhere it should have been SMW. This fight is sheer opportunism on both sides and ultimately proves nothing for me.

Why didnt Hopkins try and lure Taylor up to 168 and avenge a defeat or fight Calzaghe instead?
