    Get your facts right Rain Wright was ranked #5 by Ring mag when Hopkins defeated him.

    Hopkins dominated Wright down the stretch. Wright's jab was ineffectual! His defense was punched through, around or timed brilliantly! Wright also looked unbalance & amateurish.

    Agree completely. It wasn't a pretty fight, and it was difficult to score, but Hopkins took away Wrights best weapons and definetly made the fight much harder on him than it was on himself, which is what he does best. I also believe Winky should have been much higher than #5 going into that fight. The thought that Jermain Taylor and Ricky Hatton may have been above him p4p makes me queezy.

    And Wright knew Hopkins was a dirty fighter coming in & couldn't do anything against it! Hopkins is a genius!!!

    Boxing is rough sometimes, you either get rough back or get roughed up! Wright got roughed up. Winky was saying right up til the fight that Hopkins was a dirty fighter so it shouldn't have been a surprise to him. He should have had a plan to counter act it... he didn't! It's the refs job to monitor that side of things, Wright job was to fight.
