He still thinks he won the Bernard fight? Whatever to him I guess.

Either way great article and I found this interesting:



I wonder if it's prizefighter!

Though Winky as always seems to be a geniune fight fan. That's so awesome to hear.

LMAO please tell me that was a joke.

QUESTION: What's up Wink? 1st question is - Did you think some shady business was going on with Golden Boy when that referee never took points away from Hopkins for fighting you SO DIRTY? Regardless, I still had you winning that fight by two points man. 2nd Question - Do you now regret moving up to 170 for that fight because it seemed as if extra weight did affect your agility and stamina somewhat. Thanks bro and good luck getting Pavlick to step up to the plate.

WRIGHT: I still don't think I lost that fight either, so thank you. I don't regret nothing that I've done. Everything happens for a reason and I've learned a lot from my experiences in the game.

No joke buddy.

[Silencers]

Interesting chat, it seems like he's the odd one out right now. He didn't win the Hopkins fight.

[NeXt In Line]

My Q was the one of who were his favorite fighters. I saw everybody keep asking him about potential fights, and he basically answered my questions about it so I decided to switch it up.

[xfiles]

Him and Roy is the logical match up to me. Whatever?

Chat Transcript with Winky Wright and FANS

: I understand that Pavlik may be interested in fighting you later, who would you take in between: any tuneup, or would you wait for a huge fight? "Whoever would make the biggest dollars would make the most sense. Bob Arum ain't never gonna let Pavlik in there. He knows."

Q:: Whats up Winky, much respect, with you not able to get a Pavlik fight how does a fight with Pantera Miranda feel to you since his oppenent (kessler) pussed out. Because both of you kind of have something in common(getting an oppenent). A win over Miranda puts you right in line for a fight with pavlik or a belt at 168. Where do you stand right now. Would you be willing to fight Pavlik for the same amount of money his next oppenent gets, because Arum is not interested in putting Pavlik on PPV. Which is why they are not interested in you.

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: I ain't really trying to fight at 168, if Miranda wanted to do something at 160 and HBO wanted it, cool. Arum don't want to make the fight because he knows I'll win. Golden Boy and me offered $4M to fight him in his backyard and his father Bob said no. What I gotta do to get him in there?

Q: Hey Winky, I know you wanted to fight Pavlik, but I think myself, as well as a lot of other fans, would enjoy you fighting Roy Jones Jr. even more. It sounds like an even bigger fight than a fight with Pavlik. You both hold wins over Trinidad...you're both from Florida...it makes the biggest dollars so doesn't it make the most sense? A lot of other fighters don't mind fighting their friends if the money is good so why not fight Roy? You both need a fight, you're both looking for a big name, you both just did chats on here...why not give the fans a mega-fight and face Jones? Also, Miranda is looking for an opponent now...why not fight him?

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: Me and Roy ain't never going to fight.

Q: Do you think you will hang it up if none of the big names don't fight? Don't leave the game needs you,

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: That could be what happens. I want to make the biggest and best fights for y'all, but Pavlik's father Bob is doesn't want to make the fight. I was trying to fight Oscar, he went the other way. I ain't trying to leave but if they don't step up to the plate and fight I ain't going to have no other choice.

Q: Main Chat: hey so without a pavik fight what who do you want to see

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: Oscar, Floyd, Sturm, the other champion from out there, Pavlik, the best out there, you know the names.

Q: : Hello Winky Wright, How do you feel when Bob Arums and Pavilk ran away from you? I will like to know when will you come back to fight? Who do you want to fight next? Thanks Mr. Winky Wright from East L.A...

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: I don't have an exact date yet, sometime in the summer. They ain't doing right for boxing. Everyone knoiws that me and him makes the most dollars at middleweight and Arum is trying to make easy money for himself instead of real fights for the fans. I ain't trying to take no tune ups. They've offered me tune up fights before and I ain't trying to hear it. I need fights that get me motivated. If my opponent doesn't demand my respect ain't no point in me fighting him

Q: What's up Wink? 1st question is - Did you think some shady business was going on with Golden Boy when that referee never took points away from Hopkins for fighting you SO DIRTY? Regardless, I still had you winning that fight by two points man. 2nd Question - Do you now regret moving up to 170 for that fight because it seemed as if extra weight did affect your agility and stamina somewhat. Thanks bro and good luck getting Pavlick to step up to the plate.

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: I still don't think I lost that fight either, so thank you. I don't regret nothing that I've done. Everything happens for a reason and I've learned a lot from my experiences in the game.

Q: Main Chat: Winky, I've been a fan of yours for a while, props for taking time out to chat with your fans mayne. Aside from all the talk of your next fight, who are some of your favorite fighters to watch today, and why?

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: Pacquiao, Marquez, them little guys that fought on Showtime, Vazquez and Marquez. Roy, James Toney, there's a whole bunch.

Q: Winky, what's up with Winky Promotions? When are you guys going to run your first card? When are you going to be taking applications for your Events Manager position? I got that on lock. Do you ultimatley hold the key to beating Floyd becauase your jab is so good?

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: Right now we're looking to lock in my next move. We've been keeping our fighters busy on other shows, but once I'm done with this boxing game, which will be soon, I'm going to focus all of my time to my promotional company. Floyd don't want nothing to do with me, and he never has.

Q: winky if not pavlik, or one of the big names you mentioned earlier there must be a second list of fighter you would take on... who is your next realistic fight, and you need tune-ups if these fighters dont wanna fight you? you got to stay busy to keep sharp. second i picked you to beat hopkins, and i thought you pulled it out... if he stays in the game what are the chances of a rematch? and 3rd... what is your thoughts on chris henry?... he's a southeast texas boy!!! 4th who is your pick on mosely judah?

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: That's a question for Bernard, I ain't got no problem fighting him again and he knows that. I don't think it'll happen though, he knows what he was in there with that night. It's going to be a great fight with a lot of excitement, it's too tough to call.

Q: : I guarentee you HBO would want you and Miranda SO MAKE IT HAPPEN. Anyway, Winky how about fighting your boy Vernon Forrest? 2 big names looking for somebody with a name to fight. When Vernon gets done destroying Mora Why not?

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: Vernon and me are people that why we ain't fight after he beat Quartey. If there's enough money in the fight anything can happen, but I don't think it's a fight that either of us is trying to make.

Q: Winky, my lil girl and i are HUGE fans of urs...although u beat the hell out of my all time fave, Tito Trinidad!! when can we expect 2 see u in thering again, and against who?? also, we would LOVE 2 see what bhop can do against u at 160. 4get that "catch weight" mess!! i think u'd whoop his tail at 160. sorry 4 the repetitiveness, but they asked the same question i was going 2 ask,and i didnt have time 2 think of another. lol... and GOOD LUCK, Wink!!

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: I would have loved to fight him at 160 when he was the middleweight champion, but I don't think Bernard will ever fight that low again.

Q: winky when did you come to puerto rico again? did you eat "alcapurias" with tito? if miguel cotto move in weight class to 160 did you fight him?

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: What are those? If Cotto made it to middleweight and I was still around I'd fight him. But his father Bob will treat him like Pavlik and not let him anywhere near me.

Q: Thanks for taking quetions Winky. You were Hopkins last opponent... how does he do against Calzaghe? Would you consider Mayorga as an oppenent at 160 or 168? What's the lowest price you'll fight for these days?

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: It's going to be a tough fight for both guys. Joe throws a lot of shots and Bernard it very tricky. Mayorga would be an opponent for 160, but I don't think Don King is interested in doing any more business with me after what happened with Tito.

Q: You have probably the best boxing technique out there right now. But I am sorry, but your fights are not entretaining. Would you consider changing your defensive style (Kind of what Juan Manuel Marquez did) to a more fan appealing (aggresive) style in order to get that big fight you want?

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: I ain't trying to hear that, I'd like to know what fights you're watching. I don't take no backwards steps and I'm throwing punches. I just win most of my

Q: Winky who do you think you should fight now since Pavlik is not going to fight you

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: I think I should fight whoever HBO is willing to pay the most money for.

Q: winky big fan love your fights.. what was the reason behind the kessler fight not happening??? when we getting your clothing line??

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: Your boy is fresh out of sinus surgery just for my boy G. Leon and my boxing fans on ********** and I've been telling Greg to get me back in, so I'm happy to be here talking with you guys. We'll see what they're trying to do now that his fight with Miranda fell apart.

Q: Who's going to win Hopkins-Calzaghe? You should fight Roy Jones, I think you could beat him. All the best Winky!

WINKY WRIGHT -> Main Chat: Thanks for the support, like I said, me and Roy ain't never goign to fight. He's done a lot for my career and I don't think he's considering me as an option either, thanks for having me on, I'll be back soon, hopefully with an opponent to talk to y'all about.

[Orion]

Thanks again.

Why doesn't Boxingscene get chats like these?

We did for a small while and it was a disaster almost every time. People disrespecting the boxers, making alts jump in and curse boxers out. We vowed never to do them again.

[theofficial]

it work for btalk tho?

Its just the site calling the boxer.. if someone asks a ****** question, just skip the question and dont ask it to the fighter over the phone.. and have admin rights to delete it from the chat... after u do a few times, nobody would waste there times posting ******ed things, because they wouldnt get anywhere...
