I could see that happening

lol most boring fight of all time right there

[*!#@PBRick@#!*]

I like Winky in this one... I never really thought about this fight happening but I guess it would be a good one... I think Winky is still the most feared fighter in boxing (opinion)... I think he's starting to lose a little though as he gets older... Should be a pretty technical fight which most fight fans would consider boring but as a boxing fan I love to see a great chess match...

Wow, my two favorite fighters going at it.

I have no idea how Winky will handle the weight increase, and that will be, to me, the whole story going into this fight (if it happens of course). Moving from 154 to 160 is one thing, but from 160 to 170 only two years after fighting at 154 is going to be tough, I would think.

I hope I'm wrong and they both are in great shape and give a great, great fight. Both of their resumes are considerably stronger now, and that's saying alot for guys who have both beaten Tito and serparately fought guys like DLH, Mosley and Taylor (with a huge age/power disadvantage).

I think we'll see a tactically superior fight that will have action in spurts. We'll see some clowning and gamesmanship, but ultimately respect for each other as we will see two all-time greats IMO.

Awesome fight for boxing purists.

What was the fight night weight of Winky in his last fight?

What was the fight night weight of Winky in his last fight?

For the Taylor bout it wasa 166, and for Quartey, I'm not 100% sure but I think 169.

This is a bad fight for Bernard, he should just go for Calzaghe. Winky's gonna beat him for sure.

Maybe people can stop killing Winky now for not taking the Taylor rematch. Greedy? Sure, but not scared like some people want to claim.

Given the weight issue, this is a much harder challenge for Winky, especially considering how great Hopkins looked vs. Tarver. Besides, the winner could always fight Taylor at 168 if Calzaghe doesn't fight Taylor or the winner of this fight.
