Will you consider Wrigh a champion ....

[Stinky gloves]

.... at LHW if he beat Hopkins?

[PolishPummler]

:lol:

Hell no.

[eze]

Im not 100% but if he wins it will be huge.

[NBT]

No, I don't consider Hopkins a LHW champ. It's a big joke that he's got that Ring belt, shows you that the Ring belt is just as worthless as any other.

[Stewbear]

Considerin the fight is at 172, and the ring belt is worthless...

[Jose FM]

No but i will consider it a good win.

[Sug3]

They're trying to convince public that it was for real

[*BOX_FAN*]

At LHW no but in P4P yes.

[King Dan]

Hopkins became the linear lt heavy champ when he beat Tarver.

I believe Ring said it might be on the line, let me check.

I have no idea why you guys trash the Ring
Magazine belt.
It's the most coveted of them all by the fighters themselves.

[King Dan]

M a x b o x i n g says it is for the title in their schedule.

Yes but the sad part is if Winky wins i HIGHLY doubt he is going to face a true Lightheavy.

They are fighting at 170 which is closer to Super Middle than Light Heavy.So what happens if Winky wins is going to expect all Lightheavies to come down in weight and fight him at a catch weight?Or is he going to have more NON Lightheavies come up in weight and fight him at a catch weight.

Until these guys start fighting and beating Light Heavyweight CONTENDERS than im not sold on either of them being the MAN.

BTW Tarver WAS IS and ALWAYS will be VASTLY overrated.

Tarver was overrated, but he was THE champ. Just because you don't like him, does not mean he is not the champ.

[PolishPummler]

When they start acting like "The Champ" i will consider them one.So far they arent proving it.

Really, who beat Tarver to be linal champion .... lets guess, Jones, and who did beat Jones to be lineal - did he beat Michalczewski who was lineal before him? The same BULLSHIT again!

This is exaclty the case why people should trash the shity Ring Magazine belt.

[Asterion]

Wright will become Ring Champion if he defeats Hopkins! :happy

[Pimp C]

Yes

[Beebs]

Jones had the belt, Tarver beat him, Tarver had the belt, Hopkins beat him, that is all there is to it, the belt was never won over the phone, the belts integrity was never in question, Hopkins is the champion that is what a championship is and how a championship works.

Your idea of acting like the champ is irrelevant and wrong, acting like the champ is beating the champ, that and that alone is what makes you a champion.

[Deslizer]

A champion without a title? Hmm ... sounds curios.
I may call the winner the "No.1 of the division" ... but not the champion.

did he beat Michalczewski who was lineal before him?Hmm ... Michalczewski became lineal when beating Hill right?
So is Erdei now lineal (won against Gonzales, who stopped Michalszewski)?

[BigEars]

Despite that Erdei is Lineal , which kind of fucks things up as in almost every other case The Ring belt is a lineal one but not here .

If the Ring were handing out belts at the time Michalczewski fought Hill then Erdei would be their holder now .

Non the less Erdei is a terrible champion and Winky will be as much of a champion as Hopkins was , who was as much of a champion as Tarver was , who was as much of a champion as Jones was . So would Winky be champion.......he'd be a champion .

[jc]

if you consider Hopkins a light heavyweight champion, then you should consider Wright a light heavyweight champion if he were to beat him tonight.

[PavlikPoundsYou]

Duh, he'd be "Special Emeritus Champion", or something.

[Illmatic]

How is he NOT the champ if he wins? YOu cant say that one fighter only goes for alphabet belts and then dog another who wins undisputed and ring title. He beat the man who beat the man, end of discussion

[NBT]

:lol: Tarver was never anything remotely close to being "The Man". There are a dozen LHWs out there that would beat Tarver and Hopkins easily right now. That Ring belt of his is as much "paper title" as it gets. "Undisputed" :patsch

[achillesthegreat]

He will probably be considered the man. The concession is something X decided to do. Wright is still fighting above 168 which means he is a 175 fighter!

[Zakman]

Of course. Hopkins is THE Light-HW champ, and if Wright beats him he will be. Outside of contender Chad Dawson, I don't even KNOW, or care, who holds the alpha trinkets, and I'm an avid boxing fan.
