Winky back at 160

[Fox McCloud]

I am a Winky Wright fan, so I was curious to see how everyone thinks he stacks up against the current champions at 160.

Pavlik - The WBC and WBO champion. I have seen him fight a couple of times, and he has impressed me quite a bit. I don't know how well Pavlik can deal with the defensive matrix, but it would certainly be a competitive fight.

Sturm - The WBA champion. Never seen him, heard he showed De La Hoya up in the warmup for Hopkins, but didn't get the decision.

Abraham - The IBF champion. Never seen him either. I had his fight against Miranda downloaded, but I am OCD and can't watch fights without English commentary, so I have no exposure to him. People have commented that he is a very tough opponent, who seems to avoid punchers (which means Wright is not a fight he would be likely to avoid).

Who do you think Wright has the best chance against? Who do you think Wright has the worst chance against?

[brently1979]

I think he gives all of those guys trouble. We haven't heard from Wright in a while.

Cheyeah Winky is going to own that weight class. He went the distance with Taylor and didn't manage to get finished by Hopkins. He will easily dominate.

[Easy-E]

Winky would decision Abraham and Sturm, but he couldnt stand up to Pavlik's consistant punching for 12 rounds.
Hes getting older, getting hit alot more and showing signs of wear, and I think Pavlik would stop him.

Im a HUGE Winky fan and have seen Every fight i could have possibly seen.

I am also a HUGE Pavlik fan and have also seen Every fight i could have possibly seen.

Pavlik is a TERRIBLE styles matchup for Winky. Pavlik i think, would be the first to stop Winky. I think it would be competitive for a few rounds cause Winky still has his jab but... Pavlik has a pretty good jab as well.

And im not saying Pavlik is the better fighter yet either, its just style wise i think its a terrible fight for Wright. Especially since he's old and fading.

Abraham is a good fight for Wright that i REALLY think he would win. As long as defense holds up, which it should, he should win a pretty entertaining decision.

I can see Winky winning close controversial decisions over Sturm and Abraham, but Pavlik would destroy him.

[Matt Marvelous]

Winky UD's Abraham. I'm not impressed with Abraham's boxing. Any real middleweight would rip him a new *******. Sturm I really can't comment on. Pavlik and Winky would be a weird fight to watch. Winky is tougher than Taylor IMO. He could take Pavlik's punishment for longer, and defense will allow him to avoid a lot of the shots that did Taylor in. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Winky would decision Pavlik, as long as he trained for it. His body is much better suited for 160.

[QuCongee]

I love Winky and I picked him to beat Hopkins but...sorry..

Pavlik KO 10

[ExecutiveOutlaw]

winky/hopkins shoulda been a draw to me

and the fact that he went up so high in weight shows me that he is better p4p than hopkins

if jermaine was outboxing pavlik, than winky would dominate him. all pavlik would have is his power and it would be cancled out by winkys ingenious D
