Steward Wants Andy Lee To Fight Winky Wright

[sparked_85]

the who has he beat argument is so irritating.

If fighters lived by those sentiments prospects would never get a chance to beat 'anyone'.

We'd just have a roundabout of fighters fighting again and again and again. We're lucky Calzaghe is around or we could suffer a Wright/Hopkins rematch.

Lee could in reality smash Wright to pieces. How can you know?

'who has he beat, how can he beat them, he needs to step up the comp before he can beat him..?'...........why?

Hatton beat 40 overmatched opponents then made a great Tszyu quit. I'm sure their are countless of other examples.

you know what I hate most about this ****, Winky will probably not agree to fight him at this stage of his career and he will be dubbed a ducker when in fact winky and everyone out there knows that wright would win. I don't like winky and don't care to ever watch him fight but winky could win fights at 55 years old with his style.

no way winky gonna take this fight... he wants big money fights. lee should beat on abraham if he could get him

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck "beating on arthur"

Because of the style match- up, I think Winky would present some major difficulties for Lee. I'm not saying he loses but I still like Lee's chances more agianst someone like a Pavlik or a Duddy, someone more methodical. Winky is smart veteran boxer with major league skills, it would dfinitely be interesting.

I admire Steward for his faith in his fighters, but Wright is a top 5 MW. Lee has not even faced a top 15 MW. I believe at this stage of his career, Lee would be unable to defeat Wright. When a promoter/manager rushes their fighter, you deny them the ability to completely develop within the parameters of the upper echelons of their division. I personally feel Lee v Duddy would be a tremendous bout, putting 2 unbeaten Irish prospects face to face for serious contender status. In terms of Wright and Pavlik, I personally feel Lee's wings arent strong enough yet to fly amongst the big birds. Just my 2 cents. I know boxing.

Camp Lee better be prepared to **** over 90% of the money if they seriously want this fight.

Who do you think the betting favorite would be if this fight were announced today?

I understand you're a fan of Wright and you have the right to predict him to win. But you should also understand he would not be a heavy favorite in this.

And he would be a heavy underdog against Kessler, whom it appear he's ducked. He would be a marginal favorite over Abraham.

I loved Winky against Mosley, but that was a long time ago and against a lightweight.

Wright -175
Lee +145

Give or take

no offense or anything HItman, but those are Horrible odds IMO.

If any of you guys know Graham Houston the fightwriter, i actually emailed him about PAVLIK-LEE if it were made today. He said Lee would come in nothing better then a 6-1 dog.

Wright is a step down from Pavlik at this point in Wrights career IMO. But not that much.

Id put Lee at a 4-1 or 5-1 underdog, and would NOT win a minute of any round in the fight. Is straight left could bloody Wrights nose at some point in the fight, but thats as good as it would get for Lee
