Should Floyd fight Winky for 50/50?

DLT19y ago

Its wrong but it goes by fast and if you read just a couple of lines then I think you will stay with it ;) As I said yesterday, I think there is a better chance of this fight happening then alot of you think and I along with Greg Leon thinks that Floyd was dead serious about it last time but there was no way he was going to jump from 140 straight to 154 to fight a Winky who had been there his whole life, just had a fight at 160, and is the 2nd best fighter in the world, for 50/50. Floyd wouldve been so stupid to do that. Now you heard Floyd's response and you can see that he is not playing and he would fight Winky. http://www.sptimes.com/2005/07/26/S...yweather_.shtml Winky said dumb things like he had nothing to gain but now Floyd is at 147 and was going to fight at 154 against Oscar anyway, so what is Winky's excuse now? If Winky wants 50/50 then the fight wont happened. If Winky fights for 60/40 then it will definatly happened and if he fights for 55/45 I think there is a 50-50 chance it happeneds. Again, Winky said he wouldnt take anything less then 50/50 last time because Floyd was too small and he was taking all the risk. Now, Floyd is still small but he was going to fight at 154 anyway and has had 2 fights at 147, so you cant say that you deserve 50/50 for the same reason. Winky is not Oscar and Floyd is not going to give him 50/50 when he's not the bigger name and he has all the advantages. If its 60/40 then I bet anyone that Floyd takes that fight and if its 55/45 then theres still a good chance. Winky is also trying to use Floyd, now. He talked his way out of the Taylor instant rematch, he said all this shit about wanting to move up and fight Calzaghe, but now like a little boy he wants little Floyd. Then he thinks Floyd will do it for 50/50? Floyd can fight Margarito for 8 mil. You know Winky will have to give in enough for Floyd to come out better then that deal. If this fight doesnt happened then Floyd will get criticize for it as always but Im telling you that Floyd will be very interested in this fight but he's not a fool. If anyone thinks Floyd shouldve fought him for 50/50 last time then your crazy and if you think he should fight him for 50/50 this time then your crazy. Not saying that Floyd can win, but like he said, "No one's going to beat me with just a jab". If you watch Floyd's fights and Winky's fights then its not even close in terms of overall talent. If they were the same size then Floyd would kill him. Dont count out this fight not happening and if it did, then dont count Floyd out in it. He is still the best all around fighter in the game and no one around his weight is just going to dominate him. Read this article on there contract last time and I dont trust Shaw. I dont believe they agreed to 50/50 because the whole time Floyd said no to that. http://www.sptimes.com/2005/07/26/S...yweather_.shtml I cant believe everyone thinks Floyd is running when he said 55/45. Its crazy to me. Winky wants to call out little Floyd instead of fighting Calzaghe like he said he was going to do. You have to give Floyd some kind of reason for taking that fight. Most fighters wouldnt do it for any kind of money but Floyd really wants it. Winky has every single advantage in this fight, doesnt have the bigger name, isnt the bigger draw, but yet he still wants 50/50 even with all the weight size? Then he lies about killing himself to make 154 when we all know thats not true. He's only been at 160 for 2 fights and he didnt even put on that much weight after the weigh in for the Taylor fight. Floyd came into the ring for a 147 pound fight weighing 146 and he started at 130. Winky is arguably the Middleweight Champ of the world and he wanted Floyd to jump from 140 to fight him for 50/50. Is he crazy? How much of a punk would Floyd look like now if he started dissing MAB and calling him out after he was just going to fight Oscar at 154? Then he wants MAB to fight him at 140 for 50/50? All of you would be clowning Floyd if he said that but thats the same thing Winky is doing. The differnce is that MAB wouldnt fight Floyd but Floyd will fight Winky, just not for 50/50. People hate Floyd so much that they think he is crazy for just wanting 55/45 for that. I thought Floyd was crazy to even do it for that much but he was going to do it. Now Floyd is bigger but he is still a very small guy and Winky still wants 50/50. I cant believe how people rip Floyd for that. Now did you hear how Floyd just clowned Winky? I told you guys he will fight him for the right price and its not some outlanish Roy Jones type of figures either. Tell me if Floyd should fight Winky for 50/50 and if not then tell me how much he should give Winky? Peep the article. http://www.sptimes.com/2005/07/26/S...yweather_.shtml

Winky isnt much of a draw anymore. I would throw 70-30 at him.

At the time these were the number 1 and number 2 p4p best fighters in the world. Would have been a big fight to say the least.

50/50 is fair because winky has nothing to gain, and everything to lose.okay nothing to gain by beating the best boxer in the world. i'm sure you seen this coming and was waiting for someone to make this point, it couldn't have been more obvious from a floyd fan right? but, although floyd is smaller, i would pick him to defeat winky, but i do agree that this would be the toughest challenge for floyd right now, out of anybody in reasonable weight.

I notice alot of you are picking 50/50 but you arent saying why. Let me help you out, "because Im a Floyd hater and I love to rip him every chance I get".damn, where have you been? it seems like i haven't chatted with you for some time now. i've missed you on here man. you gives facts, logical reasoning a lot like myself, and defend floyd in a respectable and great manner. you are making these guys look so stupid with their points, they are contradicting themselves like carzy, but oh well, they are who they are.

Why is Winky calling out smaller fighters and refusing a Jermain Taylor rematch??? Whats up with that?? Why did winky refuse to fight PBF for 50/50 and then fight taylor for less than 50/50?

It depends of course of the outcome of De la Hoya vs. Mayweather, and Winky vs Hopkins...but I don't think Winky Wright sells ppv's, so no Floyd would have a good argument for a bigger cut for himself. Winky just doesn't have an exciting style, he has a style that works but is very one dimensional and not really crowd pleasing.

Gotta love mismatch fights I just enjoy when fighter fight well out of their class. I enjoyed Roy Jones/Ruiz alot. Can anyone fill me in one when there came to be so many weight classes in boxing? I would presume fighters back in the day fought WAY above and below their class? Thanks

I know that PBF has been bringing more & more money each fight, but so has Winky, & in alot of eyes, he just beat Taylor. Mayweather is the best p4p boxer in the world, I'd say Winky is still no 2. Based on popularity, and the fact that they've both paid their dues I'd say 50/50, but i really don't take this fight seriously. I'm sure they could fight if Wright dropped & PBF went up to 154lbs, but why would Mayweather risk a loss to a bigger threat then DLH before his Big Money Fight, not even DLH wants Winky.

50/50 is fair because winky has nothing to gain, and everything to lose. That is such Bull shit. This fight was first talked about after the Gatti & Tito fight. Winky was at 160 and Floyd was at 140. They were going to meet all the way at 154 and Winky said he deserved 50/50 because he had nothing to gain and everything to lose. No fighter thinks that way. They wouldnt say they needed 50/50 because they would know it was easy money. Thats like saying that Tarver deserves 50/50 against Floyd because he has everything to lose. The size advantage was so big that Winky first laughed at the fight but yet he wants 50/50. That was then and this is now. Since then Floyd has had 2 fights at 147 and was going to 154 to fight Oscar anyway so Winky cant use that same excuse again. You and Winky sound alike. You know damn well that everyone would kiss his ass for beating Floyd and he would be the favored and you know damn well that people hate Floyd so much that they would still rip him for losing and say that he was overrated even though he's fighting the bigger man. How can he have more to lose then Floyd when Floyd could easily lose his great undefeated record by fighting the other best guy in the world and at his weight? Floyd is the one with everything to lose and its a joke to think otherwise. I guess Calzaghe has everything to lose against Winky then, huh?

It should be 50/50 cause neither of them sell that many seats, this fight wouldn't be a slaughter of PBF like some are saying, but the size advantage would be a huge factor, and Winky would probably win. Floyd sells more seats then Winky, he has the bigger name, and has made by far the more money. Then, look at what you just said. You said that Winky would win because of his weight? That along should tell you that it shouldnt be 50/50, and when you add on the stuff I said above then its even more clear. This isnt the same Floyd. He has been selling more and more each fight. Floyd did a great number of buys against a Zab coming off a loss and Winky had to fight Taylor on regular HBO. If Winky and Floyd fight the same guy right now then Floyd would get way more money and when you add to that the weight then Winky must be smoking. If Floyd fights Winky for 50/50 then he would never fight Winky because he can make that much fighting alot of guys, so why would he fight a guy who is much bigger then him and great. If he fights Winky for 50/50 then he probally wont even get the 8mil Margarito is offering, so why not just fight him at 147. Floyd isnt that dumb
