Hopkins stealing the fight against Eastman and the 2 non events Taylor proved him for what he wa .
Mayweather , good but not a true fighting man just hasnt fought anyone good enough his record of late is just S*** !! He's got all the skill ,lightning speed good techinically but not the heart and nothing like the bottle .
Winky is a good fighter i like him but he just doesnt excite me and you know what you get with him everytime and i think Calzaghe would just destroy him at 168 , i sure respect him a ton more than Hopkins .
Hopkins beat Eastman...Eastman & his folks need to give that S*** a rest.
As for Floyd...Floyd's fought better opposition for his weight class. Sorry...he has. Floyd's the superior fighter also. Joe's record of late is worse than Floyd's. The only thing that you can really saddle Joe with is Lacy...& I'm a Calzaghe fan...just an unbiased one.
Winky's more than just a good fighter...I'd have to really rethink the idea of Joe destroying him...Joe hasn't destroyed anyone lately & he had issues with Bika. Wright's got twenty times the defense of Lacy & twice the chin. No one has made a dent with Wright...I don't think Joe would be able to blow him out.
I like Joe...but he aint the answer to every boxing style in the books. He's fast & awkward & throws volume at all angles...but so did Soliman...& awkwardness & volume didn't do S*** for him...not that you can compare the two...but the volume made not effect on Wright.
