I dont know if he just doesnt care enough about boxing unless he gets exactly what he wants, but time is no friend to him. He should at least take a tune up fight on HBO BAD or some **** just to let boxing fans know he's still alive and interested in the sport.

Winky seems out of touch with reality when it comes to his own marketability. Some of the blame goes to HBO for overpaying him for meaningless fights in the past.

I was thinking about this the other day. It's definitely not going to benefit him in the long run.

Dude is sitting ringside as fights pass him by. It seems like he rather be a spectator than a participator.

I told you mother****ers, Hopkins put his ass on the back of that milk carton! He ain't coming back from that!

Honestly though it seems like his will to fight isn't there anymore........

Like Hopkins just stole the lifeforce out of him, like Shang Tsung in Mortla Kombat......

Milk carton.........

Milk carton.

Winky had a tough career for a long time, fighting all over Europe for minor purses. Now that he's a millionaire in the twilight of his career he is being a lot more picky.

he should just commentate for HBO if he's gonna be a spectator in most fights...

He gave up his career for Krispy Kreme doughnuts. He was eating them while training for Hopkins.
