Trinidad had only had one fight at 160 and only two or three at 154 (where he got knocked down), while Hopkins was on a big winning streak. Lewis-Tyson was a huge fight but hardly competitive. |

Maybe Marciano Moore?? Outside of the knockdown in round 2 of couse. It was a pretty one sided fight.
Agree with Ross Armstrong, though I gave the FIRST 5 rounds to Ross, Armstrong than started to man handle Ross. |

Thats about what I say, I still have no ideal were that Armstrong carry Ross story came??
Ross was double over in round 13 from a Armstrong right to the belly, and in the 15 round, Armstrong was all over Ross hitting from body too head. And even SHAKING Ross. He was trying to knock Ross's block off. |
