WINKY WRIGHT WANTS PAVLIK FIGHT
By G. Leon
Last night elite pound for pounder Winky Wright made it clear to **********.com that there's nothing he wants more than a fight with undefeated, undisputed middleweight champion Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik. "All they have to do is want to make a fight and we'll give the fans what they want to see. There isn't a better middleweight fight than me and Kelly right now and I'm ready to give him his first loss," said Wright. John Duddy, who appeared to be the frontrunner to face Pavlik next, suffered sever lacerations to his face last Saturday night, thus making Pavlik opponentless for his June HBO date. Full interview with Wright to follow tomorrow. Remember where you heard it first! (3:28 PM EST)
This is the best thing that could've happened.
Let discussion begin!
WAR WINKY!!!!!!!! THIS SHIT WOULD BE GOOD!
#1 MIDDLE VS CHAMP
WINKY WOULD WIN TEH UD N WIND UP BEIN ROBBED LOL ..
i just cant see pavlik knockin him out but who knows.....
....
i just see winky with that defensive wall up blockin pavliks 1 2 givin him a wink and comin back with that jab 2 da mouth
Definetaly against Abraham, bottom line is, you shouldn't be getting a title shot right after you lose. Just doesn't make sense.
im glad you agree krasniqi doesent deserve a fight with chagaev
winky gonna get robbed because of pavlik's so called consistency(even though kelly wont have clean punching-therefore, no effective aggressiveness....but id like to see this fight happen...
i see pavlik winning this one on sheer activity. if you recall when winky fought sam soliman he gave away quite a few rounds just cause sam never stopped punching and winky was never able to establish any kind of rhythmn. if pavlik fights winky he will go to the body and score enough points to win a close UD
Pavlik will be the first man to stop Winky...A KO win over Winky will look great on Pavlik's already impressive resume...Winky will get his ass whooped bad.
What are Winky's money demands?
All I know is this fight needs to happen. It would be awesome and very important in the 160 lbs division. Wright throws a LOT of punches, stands right in front of you...I like his fights, especially lately. Why is he boring? Just because he holds up his guard? That's what you should do. It's better than running like some fighters do.
Pavlik threw over 800 punches vs Taylor...Wright throws 1,000 punches a fight routinely. I even liked his fight vs Quartey. The difference here is that Pavlik punches like a mule, whereas Quartey had snap but just isn't on the same level as Pavlik.
Wright, lower your money demands and make this fight happen.
Better than the last winky fights. Unlike his bhop and taylor fights, winkys got to face a different fighter this time. His in for for an all night war against the all attack mode pavlik. foty for sure :boxing:
Interesting fight, 2 scenarios that could happen, Pavlik knocks Winky out or Winky wins a decision, either way it should be a very good fight, good styles clash.
No offense to Winky or his fans because I do in fact think he is still a good boxer, but what has he done as of late to justify calling out Pavlik? He hasn’t won a fight since December of ’06.
u forget 170 was never for Winky to begin with, at 160 he brings out the best out of everyone thereI didn't forget that, I know that, but just look at Winky's style, he absorbs punishment with his brick wall defense. IMO that kind of style is perfect for Pavlik's style, which is designed to charge and destroy defensive fighters.
He's lost 1 fight in like his last 12. Other than the draw he's been winning. Maybe because of how he looked last fight against Hopkins. But I think he should get a shot.
The fight might finish up been a replay of the Trinidad-Wright fihgt. First question, what would be the size of the gloves ??? W@inky wins by UD if he uses one of those bigass gloves.

I think this would be a good fight, I just hope that Winky can make 160 and not try to drag Pavlik up in weight again. Plus it would force Winky to get in better shape than he was in the Hopkins fight, where he seemed bloated.
