    If you say so amigo , but to my mind he is that level of fighter the only quality guys hes beaten are either smaller or rusty as hell.

    And it wasnt Hopkins rough housing that beat him , Hopkins had him figured out and was beating him up.

    If Winky was from Europe you guys would hate him ( especially with his uber defensive style )

    A good champ nothing more

    Anyhoo , thanks for the chatter , going home now so have a good one my ESB brothers !

    Yes it is obvious.
    Winky is a top class p4p boxer of which there are few, Johnson and Woods are just solid champions of which there are many.

    But Johnson and Woods easily beat him at 175 at the same turn.

    Yeah no doubt. Hes way above his ideal weight, and I seriously doubt his chances above 160lbs against good boxers.

    Although I can respect his achievments, I don't particularly enjoy his style of boxing.
