Winky scrubs Taylor fight deal, fires Shaw

Ray Leonard has more power p4p than Wright, and beat way bigger names more often than Wright has. Plus Ray had a bigger audience in the 70's and 80's due to wider TV exposure.

i disagree with a lot here because dibella and taylor already both of them, they didnt want the winky fight. and it is just plain wrong to call winky a pussy cause man he stood right in front of trinidad. hes a pussy cause he didnt let trinidad hit him huh. thats just dumb man think about it your gone cover up if you got trinidad hitting you. before the fight everyone said winky would run and trinidad would break through his guard. winky came forward and trinidad couldnt break through that guard. hopkins ran from trinidad a lot more than wright did. wright was there in front of him the whole time and trinidad couldnt do anything with him. person or people that said wright isnt a big draw cause he aint got power is right thats a big part of it. but ray leonard didnt have power and he was a huge star. mosley was never a one punch ko guy, always a late round ko guy and he was a fairly big star. winky lacks power so what. at least he doesnt do like a lot of them and drain himself 30-40 pounds lighter to get big power. he fights at a weight class thats actually appropriate for him. its the promoters job to get his fighter over as long as his fighter keeps winning. and winky has won and won big. he doesnt just clinch like ruiz and doesnt just run like spinks. so if shaw could promote worth a crap winky would be a real big star. people dont just up and quit their promoter out of nowhere usually so winky and shaw probably had problems for a little while now.

i cannot blame wright. look at how little shaw has done to promote such great talent. wright should be a bigger draw than he is since he got huge wins over mosley and trinidad. main events horribly mis managed one of the best fighters in boxing. good for wright. The reason Wright isn't popular like Tito is due to one simple fact: Wright shows no power. He is not a beatdown type of fighter, and he doesn't get hit a lot like Gatti to show his toughness. Wright will never be a big draw, and I officially lay the blame on his shoulders for this fight not happening. Maybe it will happen in the future though.

pussy wright LOL, just like your king who quite against Corrales.

Winky may be one of the best fighters around but he is certainly one of the least marketable.He thinks he can ask for millions since he believes he is a superstar.Well, the thing is he is not.He belongs in the same category as Juan Manuel Marquez.Excellent fighters who cant sell fights because of their boring fighting styles.

You are a day late and a dollar short on this one BPP. :D

Wright Fires Shaw, Nixes Taylor Fight In a St Petersburg Times article penned by John Cotey, it was reported that the relationship between Winky Wright and promoter Gary Shaw has ended in divorce. details]

I agree with Bomb...why wouldn't he opt to fight Taylor first, and in turn fire Shaw after the bout? Anyway, there must have been some odd variable here because Wright has no reason to turn down fair terms. He's been looking for this opportunity for a long time now. None of us REALLY knows whats going on...I hope some more news comes about soon.

I don't think Wright has any fear of Jermain Taylor. Why would he ? He would school Jermain. I agree , but it is odd.

pussy wright

Wright scared of Jermain Taylor?! Even this surprise me despite me knowing Jermain would beat his ass.

Wright pusses out again

Not goldboy production :eek:

Winky Wright reminds me of Bernard Hopkins-both guys think they are worth a helluva lot more then they actually are. If the Winkster wants to make the big big money and he wants to be that superstar draw somebody tell him that when he has a deadman in front of him like Felix was he needs to show some balls and finish him. I dont know about the rest of you but why arent the god dman fans screaming for Wright v. McKart 4...I mean does this make perfect sense or what?

i cannot blame wright. look at how little shaw has done to promote such great talent. wright should be a bigger draw than he is since he got huge wins over mosley and trinidad. main events horribly mis managed one of the best fighters in boxing. good for wright. You think maybe he would take this fight, one of the best opportunities of his career, and then fire Shaw. Unless he thinks this is his last big money opportunity and wants to make the most of it.
