    I always thought the way to beat Winky would be very active. Keep his robot Defense up for the whole 12. Who better to do that than Joe Calzaghe. Not even to say winky doesnt really belong at 168 his best days were at 154 and 160.

      u could be right would Winky show a lack of adaptability to come out of that shell much the way Toney did against RJJ although speed was a huge factor in that fight he still couldnt impose himself due to his defensive style, where as an Iran Barkley was made for him as would Nigel Benn have been IMO

      much the way Eubank looked a million dollars against antoher tailor made oponent in Henry Wharton

        Calzaghe beats Wright by decision because of Calzaghe's activity level as Darkstar said.

          Calzaghe by easy UD. He would throw way too many. Winky wouldn't be alowed to drop his guard coz' of Calzaghe's speed to get enough punches off.

            Calzaghe wins because of his ability to stay busy and move foward.

              170 proved too much for wright. 168 will be also. calzaghe is the more active fighter and will win UD

                I agree. He would be way too active for Winky.

                  So has anyone seen Wright vs. Candelo or Wright vs. Hernandez?

                  Both Candelo and Hernandez threw over 1,000 punches, and Winky got decent decisions over them.

                  It is also true that Joe Calzaghe isn't exactly known for his power... I think Winky has a good shot of taking this one.

                    This is an easy choice, Calzaghe by UD. Remember Winky doesn't have any power, and that's what prevents him from competing above 160. Taylor could of easily beaten Wright if he hadn't move backwards, matter fact Taylor was winning rounds every time he was pressing forward. Calzaghe is a way better technical fighter then Taylor.
