Who do you want Winky to fight?

Good question, I like Winky but I have no clue who Id like to see him fight for some reason. He needs to fight a top competitor and put on a show before a big name though.

For a few years I've been a sort-of fan of Winky, at least since he beat Mosley so convincingly. I backed him against Taylor and Hopkins. But I think those fights proved, if it hadn't already been known, that he can't fight at the highest levels above 154. And as much as I enjoy watching him, he's not a draw, doesn't have the right to be so damn picky in his matchups.

Recently he's ducked both Kessler and Abraham, though a win against either would surely put him back in the big picture. I think this is an obvious sign he's looking for a cashout against another old guy.

But tell me I'm wrong

When did he duck kessler? but I would like to see him rematch taylor but mostly winner of pavlik/taylor.

He needs to fight at 160.

Abraham.

I wish he would have taken the Taylor rematch for ****'s sake. That was his best opportunity he has ever had (outside of the Trinidad destruction).

EDIT: It does really look like he is looking for a last payday to ride off into the sunset with so he can get serious with his HUGE promotional company.

Well if Taylor loses this is no good for Taylor. He'll need easier fights.

So you'd have Pavlik fight him? Your argument could be that he did not actually lose his MW title challenge. But Pavlik has bigger fish to fry. The interest here would be to see if Kelly could knock him out.

If Taylor wins, you'd have two non-titleholders fighting for a spot in the top 5 at 168. But HBO would probably buy it anyway.

I say either the winner or even the loser of taylor/pavlik. I really doubt kelly could knock him out but it would be a good fight for him.

Id love to see him fight Kessler, but its to high in weight and he would probably lose the fight.

At Middleweight he should take a top 10 guy and then go from there

**boxingknight** · 02-04-2008, 08:15 PM

Arthur Abraham needs more known ppl on his resume. And you ppl voting for Kessler are crazy, Kessler is so much bigger then Winky and probably even faster!!! So, why the hell are you trying to get Winky Killed? His defense might be impressive but his blocking ability isn't going to do **** if Kesslers punches go right through winkys defense. It's not the same thing like fighting Hopkins.

Wink, was an absolute fool for not taking the Taylor rematch. He could've been the first to expose the over-hyped, one dimensional Taylor had he done so. But no, he wanted to whine about money. Can't say I blame him after being avoided throughout his career.

Now that Taylor has been exposed and will be further exposed in the rematch with Pavlik, Winks chances of a highly anticipated rematch with Taylor go flushing down the toilet. Oh well, that's boxing.
