I just hope you keep your its all about the money stance and dont flip flop.
It's not about giving or taking credit away from him. The JT fight was a fight that everyone wanted because the first fight was so good. The fans wanted a rematch and the money was right for Winky but because JT was making a tiny bit more, he turned the fight down. It's just a horrible business decision that makes no sense. That's why I'm wondering what the hell he was thinking not taking the JT fight. I like Winky but let's be honest, the guy's ego DID get in his way. Imagine if he beat JT in the rematch, he would have been middleweight champion of the world and recevied a lot more praise and respect than if he beat an old ass Hopkins.
