Winky Wright: boxing's biggest crybaby

[DiegoFuego]

Hopkins has held and hit every single fight of his career. He also headbutts every fight. You can't tell me Winky didn't expect that because he even called Hopkins a dirty fighter beforehand.

That's like fighting Manny Pacquiao and not expecting him to throw a straight left hand. Winky is a *****, plain and simple.

Taylor received a minor concussion from a Hopkins headbutt by the way, but he was still able to beat Bernard twice.

SO I GUESS IT WAS THE SAME OLD DIRTY ASS PENNETNTIARY STYLE HOPKINS.......

It's amazing how much hate Winky is catching after one loss. He was moreso complaining about the head butts. And the holding was pretty bad too. But I gotta admit Winky held in the later rounds after he was fatigued. But Winky let B-Hop take him out of his game. And I wouldn't say Wright is a crybaby. Most of the time he is calm in the ring and respectful of his opponents. There have been plenty of times when he has colided with other and then extends his hand out as sportsman ship. I just think this fight was just too frustrating for him becuase he couldn't do what he wanted.

Instead of trying to adapt, he chose to cry. That's a terrific fighter right there.

But seriously, I'm not going to say Wright isn't one of the best pound for pound. He certainly is, but real fighters know when to admit a fight was close, and he never admits it. Everything is a robbery with him.

Why not be like Mayweather and win all your fights convincingly so you don't have to worry about getting screwed (although he almost did against DLH)?

Yeah but whoever really admits they lost Toney never did it. That's just how some guys are. You know this I'm sure you've watched boxing for years. Hell Darchinian didn't think he lost and he got knocked the **** out.

[DiegoFuego]

Wright is a veteran who knows about having to do enough to win. Hell, just last year he was told he didn't do enough. He knew he lost to Hopkins right after that final bell.

Toney, on the other hand, has been legitimately screwed against Griffin twice. Saying he thought he beat Sam Peter the second time was insanity, but I'm sure he doesn't still think that. Wright has a sorry history of complaining about close fights.

i agree that winky does do alot of whining and crying...

well what about his fight against drake thadzi? Or reggie Johnson?? Those decisions in Toney's favour were disgusting.

Winky fought Hopkins' fight for 12 full rounds... he didn't do anything to change that. Where was the sense of urgency when his eye was cut? Big mistake, and it cost him.

Hopkins and Wright both looked like crap and it was a boring fight for the fans... there were no winners here.
