According to maxboxing.com Winky Wright refuses to fight in March and is still wavering on financial demands. Looks like the new date is April 9th, but Trinidad may fight someone like Felix Sturm.

it's a must-see fight, im sorry to hear that it won't push through! well, felix vs. felix, when is this? this will do in exchange for the trinidad-winky fight! we'll see if sturm could spell trouble for trinidad, he's a great counter-puncher, but the question is.. can he last trinidad's barrage of punches?

i hope DK won't **** this up cuz of the money, give Winky what he deserves...Tito is the challenger but will make whole lot more money than Winky...at least give Winky half of what Tito gets...

Is Winky ducking this on purpose? Seems funny to me that all of a sudden he has all these excuses. People say that he's never got the fights he's deserved but I've always been a little troubled by that statement. Fact is the guy coasts in his fights and doesn't take the big chances.

Tito - Sturm would be fantastic. Two fighters with a lot of heart going toe-to-toe. Can't wait if it happens.

I have a feeling that even if King offered Winky $5M to fight Tito right now he'd turn it down.

Nah... I dont think that he is scared of Tito. Dont get me wrong I am a fan of his but Winky is a pro and if he fights Tito it's gonna be a superfight so Wink just wants to make as much money as possible, because its clearly that Trinidad is gonna be a topdog.

well, as much as I wanted to see this fight happen, I can live with him fighting Sturm instead. Felix did put on a good show against Oscar, so a fight between the two might be better than expected?? :confused: If Tito does fight Sturm, I can easily see a knockout early on :D

Oh well, I wouldn't mind seeing Sturm/Trinidad myself. It ain't as good as Wright/Trinidad, but I think Sturm is very underrated he could present some real problems for Trinidad.

I can't believe how Winky Wright he always talks about how he wants the big fights but when he gets a real big fight he complains about money. :mad: 3 million isn't good enought c'mon!

I think tito could have some trouble in this one given that haseen cherifi was quickly dealt with by sturm recently.
Could be cherifi is way past it given the time gap between the fights but nevertheless it is probably not a risk tito should be willing to take.

good point! I'd damn sure take 3 million :eek: and Winky must have forgotten that until Shane came along, very few were willing to get into the ring with him at all, and now 3 million isnt good enough?? :confused:

wright is still posturing. king will throw him another bone. wright is easy money, sturm would be a harder tuneup. unless there's more money involved with euro ppv.

I'm not so sure that Sturm makes it out of the first round against Trinidad.

Well, I agree with most of you and i would rather see Sturm x Trinidad than watching Trinidad any fight a southpaw with winky's style.

I like sturm alot, but I don't see his style presenting Felix with any real problems other than maybe stealing a round or 2....

My prediction would be Tito by stoppage in under 10...
