Winky is Back; Calls out Pavlik, Calzaghe, Oscar

[Tobi.G]

Ronald "Winky" Wright (51-4, 25KOs) is back, planning a March return and calling out every big name from 154 to 168. Wright, who last fought in July, dropping a unanimous decision to Bernard Hopkins at a catch-weight of 170-pounds, will return to middleweight limit of 160-pounds for the March return, and then drop down to 154-pounds. Wright spoke with Puerto Rican media outlet Endi, and indicated that he wants bouts with Kelly Pavlik, Joe Calzaghe and Oscar De La Hoya. [details]

yeah ok. oscar is ducking him. lets get real. oscar can only fight one oponent at a time. he has fought better. lets not say he is ducking. 5 ppl as for a fight, you chose one. thats how it works.

Even when Winky was the unified champion at 154? Oscar had better prospects then? Winky is obviously not the best opponent now, but there was a time when he was, and Oscar didn't want it.

How old is Winky? Didn't Sam Soliman beat him a few years back?

I thought he beat Soliman by a pretty wide margin. Soliman punches a lot, lands a little, and damages none.

Wright landed a hell of a lot more punches than him.

You are right... that whole time period that Winky spent at 147, he was ducking Margarito.

Margarito backed out of the 154 match because he is a *****.

Pavlik koed Taylor in impressive fashion in the 7th round and kept comming at Taylor throughout the fight so I did not see a half assed performance or someone that would die out late.. He also did in Miranda in a slugfest in 7. He has never lost and granted that he has never gone past 7 rds I think he is a fighter with ko power to be reckoned with for 12 rds... I need to see him again in a rematch with Taylor which I think will be a much harder fight. I saw Kessler had good moments with Joe especially late but couldn't keep up the pressure. Joe is a good boxer with alot of speed but so is Taylor who has more power IMO. I thought Pavlik out boxed JT before the KO and JT was feeling those punches that took its effect. Honeslty it is hard to guage how Joe would do againts B-hop, Pavlik, or Taylor based on who I've seen him againts. He has never faced fighters like those mentioned and Kessler isn't a good guage either. Alot of speculation in this division.

I was talkin about jt when I said halfassed performance and getting gassed not pavlik
