"Winky Wright came to see me recently and so we want to see what's out there for him. Winky made it clear to me that he really wants, at this point in his career, he wants a big fight. And obviously the one fight which he keeps mentioning is Oscar and I said, 'Who knows, maybe down the road that is going to happen. Because he obviously is one of the best fighters of our generation.
He wants big fights and it seems like most people are really not that eager to face him," said Schaefer, who suggested an elimination bout of sorts between two guys who have pipe dreams of facing 'The Golden Boy." Maybe since Roy Jones has been calling out Oscar, at 157 pounds, I am sure Winky would agree to fight Roy at 157 pounds. That's maybe the fight. If Roy is serious about fighting at 157, then go and show us what you can do with Winky."

Roy Jones vs. Winky Wright anyone?
i would like to see that...then eventually maybe a dlh or a mayweather...but dlh and floyd will most likely never happen
Not that it has ever stopped anyone, but Winky and Roy have been friends and business partners at different points. It could be used as a thinly veiled excuse if they need one not fight each other.
Shaefer is completely right about this. They should do it. But Oscar wouldn't fight either one of these guys regardless.
Winky's best shot for a big fight is Kelly Pavlik.
Good fucking luck with that one though Wink.
Agreed, I cant think of any other possible big fight for Winky.
At first I thought maybe Jones Jr but I dont think anyone would want to see it.
Maybe Pavlik will give Wink another shot at the MW title. Wink drew in his only chance, so I don't see why he shouldn't get another.
I'm not sure Wink could win, but he'd be no pushover
The problem is that Wright has no power for Pavlik to respect. On top of that Pavlik is a big MW 6'2, even bigger than Taylor who is considered a big MW as well. Then Wright has to worry about Pavlik's power, which can knock him out, and could possibly injure him. Now I know why he's been fighting at JMW most of his career.
yeahhhh winky would kill roy at 157 .......i say 119-109 winky
Maybe so, but all in all Roy has very little to lose and alot to gain if they did it. Winky can't hurt him, and Roy knows he can perform with speed and power at a higher weight more naturally than can Wright. They should do it at a catch weight in the 160's. It's a very good option for Jones.
Maybe Pavlik will give Wink another shot at the MW title. Wink drew in his only chance, so I don't see why he shouldn't get another.

It would be a shame not to see Winky fight again, I remember him coming over to the UK and UD'ing one of our guys and knocking the other two out. I liked his defensive style and the fact that he was prepared to risk traveling the UK and Europe, especialy mainland Europe where its easier to get a blowjob off of Nun than it is to get a fair decision
Winky should of fought Margarito when he had a chance...but then again who would want to get in the ring with "The Most Feared Man on the Planet", I really can't blame him for turning that fight down...
LOOOOOOOL thats funny
Both Winky and Tito make millions now for every fight. So who is going to come up with that money? The fans in the arena? HBO or Showtime? Just because you aren't paying to see it doesn't mean it is free. The fighters always have to get paid. Nobody would put up the money to make that fight happen. The PBF-Oscar fight was much closer than Winky-Tito, not to mention it made a ridiculous amount of money. Really no comparison.
I know all that... I'm just hoping Tito after making 15 plus mills in his last fight might take this one on regular TV. There's a rumor that Tito vs Roy was inked because Tito owed one more big fight to King, he was either fighting or getting sued, so took the profitable way out. As far as DLH vs Floyd, I don't mean it in a way whether was closer or not, just in a way of watching again the p4p fighter taking on another has been who has lost 4 or 5 of his last fights instead of fighting a live opponent out there in his same division, deffend his title for a change.
And who said anything about paying? Many casual boxing fans will buy Oscar vs PBF, I don't see much of a difference. If Tito throws the amount of punches he threw against Roy we will have a better fight than their first one, that's for sure.

Who would pay to see a rematch of that? Winky won every minute of every round. Trinidad needs to fight someone who will trade with him and give him a chance to use his power. He'll never beat the fighters who have already defeated him. They've already got Trinidad's limitations figured out.

I'd love to watch the Tito who fought Roy rematch against Winky. Tito might not beat Winky if they fought again but at least give him some kind of fight.

Winky wants another big fight?
The guy just came off a big fight and lost it when he lost to Hopkins.
What he really wants is Delahoya money and all the fame, attention that comes with a Delahoya fight.
All these years Winky used to complian that he is avoided and then he got his shot again. Got the money he said he is deserved and after all he wanted he got . The Winkster is still complianing, fucken amazing! Just fucken amazing -check yourself winky..
