    They are fighting at 175 in the same weight range Calazage, Kessler and Dawson who would all whup them silly? RJJ could probably still beat them both and Mundine and Briggs should have the beating of them. Yet some people want to call Winky P4P no1 when he'd lose to them all and ran from a Taylor rematch yet all hes proving is he can do what Jermaine Taylor already did twice :huh

    Easy , they are American !
    Wright is a decent fighter who for some bizzare reason is now considered a world beater ?? Dawson would quite possibly kill them both Lol ! Calzaghe and Kessler hanlde them too

    wright just took the most money on offer and never ran from taylor IMO.

    but wright and hopkins bypassing the 168 division and fighting at catchweight 170 devalues the 175 and 168 division a little IMO.

    I agree mostly. Hopkins is a great fighter but he's very old now. Winky, I thought won that fight against Taylor so did Hopkins. Taylor ain't **** and noone's running away from him.

    Yes, in the same way that WWF devalues boxing as such. It is more of a spectacle than actual boxing, but there will be spectators.

    B Hop and Winky are rated tops in pound for pound beacuse of their resume's and their boxing ability.

    It's pretty simple.

    While some believe Calzaghe, Kessler, Dawson and Mundine could beat them, it must be proven in the ring, and those guys have to bolster their resumes a bit more before the earn top 5 consideration.
