With negotiations dead for a Winky Wright-Floyd Mayweather fight on Nov. 12, look for Wright to return Dec. 10 on HBO. It will be Wright's first bout since his dominating decision victory against Felix Trinidad on May 14. Ike Quartey is Wright's most likely opponent, but Felix Sturm is also a possibility.

Sturm knocked out Bert Schenk recently with a 2nd round ko and the guy was 36 and 1 at the time.
Sturm also knocked out Hacine Cherifi with a Ko round 3 recently all these fights happend after the oscar fight!
Sturm has power and trust me he has more verstatility then wright! I really want sturm to fight winky, it was funny how hopkins wanted to fight sturm at one time but then he chickened out once oscar became his promoter I bet you oscar adviced him not too.
Sturm fought a blown up welterweight in DLH...it's a whole new ball game once you fight Winky. It looks easy to fight him, but trust me it's not. He's arguably the most frustrating fighter in the world to fight.
Make some sense man! WINKY fought a blown up welterweight in TITO, and a blown up lightweight in Shane mosley.
Sturm has been fighting middleweights all his career so I take it he has more experience with bigger guys.
winky got the hardest jab pound for pound he a converted right handed fighter..he would kill sturm..sturm is powerless
Stupid! sturms jab is more powerful then winkys, and winky doesnt have as much power as sturm....if you know anything about sturm he has power he just doesnt use it he is a power puncher converted to a defensive peak a boo artist. His last win he won by ko or tko.
When was winky's last ko?
And who ever said winky is naturally bigger is wrong, Sturm is naturally bigger he is about 6 feet 1.

and DLH was not frustrated by sturm?
i had a feeling sturm was planing on fighting someone big cause he usually fights everey 3 months and he still hadnt had a fight set so i thought hey maybe he is trying to fight winky boy or solimon. sturm pulls the upset over winky then goes on to be the champ, and hey guess what espn finally will have to mention sturms name lol
Btw Sturm is a bigger, faster, mobile version of winky right, tell me do u think winky can do what sturm is doing in my avatar :)
Ike is too far past his best to give Wink a hard fight anymore. Back in his prime he may have beaten him but his best days are over.
I always go back and forth on who I think would win a Sturm/Wright fight, but at this point I guess I'll say Sturm. He looks like he's a bit more busy now and is just a bigger/stronger guy than Wright.
Riz, Wrights not naturally bigger than Sturm you got your info flipped.
Wright UD Quartey 118-110
Sturm MD/UD Wright 114-114 115-113 115-113 or something close to that.
Winky vs. Ike would be an interesting matchup with Ike shooting off at the mouth that Winky stole his style. Might be boring to some but if you enjoy the technical side of the sport it would be a good matchup. Winky would beat his ass for the good part of 12 rounds and might even knock Bazooka out.
winky and sturm would be very entertaining, but i think winky is naturally bigger, so i give him the nod over 12... clsoe fight tho
quartey vs winky.... winky lopsided decision.
117-111, or 118-110
Felix Sturm wins this his jab against oscar is freaking sharp, he is a bigger verison of winky with a crisper jab.
This is kinda strange since ike quartey has a similar style to winky he even claimed winky copied him, and felix sturm is identical to winky they got the peak a boo style.
