Last night on WNF,Teddy Atlas stated that he thought Winky has slowed down the past couple of years.And thats why he thinks that Taylor will win.Have you guys seen any evidence of this?
Winky sucked against Soliman, big time, and maybe the flu is the reason.
Wright has to be at his best this time. He just saw what happened to Tarver - going from self annointed "best light heavyweight" to concensus "worthless bum" in one fight. If Taylor does well, Wright's prior career will be downgraded e.g. Mosley was shot and fighing way over his best weight, Trinidad was retired already, yadadada.
Taylor just beat a very strong hall of famer - twice. Ugly fights, but if he hadn't tired, he was running away with both fights.
The only question mark in my mind is the stamina of Taylor. If he has it, he wins beyond any doubt. Even if he tires as he did against Hopkins, Winky hits as hard as my granny and Taylor wins a close decision.
Taylor wins.
yeah, i can't say i agree with that... i feel you give Winky another 1-2 years and you might begin to see some aging, but i honestly haven't seen that many signs.. he's toward the end of his physical peak, but not near past it yet
Most people have only seen Wright fight against Mosley, Trinidad and Soliman. At least 80% of this forum had no idea who he was before he fought Mosley.
That would include Atlas probably, as well as anyone that claims he's slowing down, or claims he was unimpressive against Soliman.
I have only seen those fights of his.I admit it!But thats why I was asking the experts. :)

yes..the soliman fight made him look real bad..winky was slow and out shape..But hey, i bet he took soliman lightly..you can bet your a$$ that he will be in tip top shape as Tayor will. Winky will pick it up in this fight...I also want to make a small bet that Taylor will defeat winky..say like 6 million..I'm broke so thats all i can bet..
They said he was very sick during the Soliman fight and almost pulled out even.......True or not I don't know but I don't think he has shown signs of slowing down yet hell 3 out of his last 4 fights were some of the best performances of his career.
He looked very sick and pale.I beleive it!
Winky is really in his prime pretty much. He's just got to move up in weight, giving him more energy than in the past, and also has showed some of the best performances in his life vs Tito and Shane.
Soliman was very busy and would make anyone look a bit bad. Winky didn't look average in that fight because he was old, but because he was sick. He had the flu. Remember?
Keep track, people.
Teddy doesnt know what he's talking about. Solimans style is weird as hell, WInky was sick as hell. Im sure Winky didnt train as hard as he would a Mosley or Taylor. He won that fight on skill and veteran savy and just being better than Soliman as he dominated. He's gonna be in the best shape of his life coming in this fight. Winky isnt taking no for an anwser. Those belts are as good as his
That belt.......I read today Winky said he is only paying the sanctioning fees for the WBC because he does not care about belts and it will keep an estimated 200k in his pocket not the WBO and WBAs pockets.......smart move if you ask me.
he has slowed down a bit, but i think its more because he has gained muscle mass, and a lot of it. the hand speed and quickness that he loses, are made up in strength, which is better with Winkys defensive style

Yes, he is also showing his age quite a bit if you look at him now. Winky looked bad in terms of being in shape vs Solimon. I'm actually judging the fight on how good Wright looks. If Winky looks in shape and ready to go I'm thinking he will win... If he looks sloppy like in the Solimon fight then I'm picking Taylor. We will see.
