How does Winky turning down $750K

[rizkybizness]

I dont blame him since Giovanni Lorenzo was being offered the same kind of money and Paul Williams was offered 1.1.

Lorenzo was offered that much? Damn, I didnt know that.

Now that's a slap in the face.

To each his own.

Good point. But whats better?

$750K or $0?

I'll put it this way. If you have a million or more dollars in the bank, you can afford to be selective. And it's not like its Winky's only option or the fight is off the table forever.

Who else do you think he could fight?

Hopkins was right then wasnt he when he said once he fought Winky
his gonna go on the missing list...

Winks been quite for a while now

This is the one really meaningful fight out there for Wright. He messed up earlier by refusing to take the rematch with Taylor, and the long layoff after Hopkins seems to be a product of the same stubborn frustration that kept him from the middleweight title and perhaps a strong reign there.

Lots of people if he's willing to fight at 168. At 160 the options aren't so great right now. Arum knows exactly what he is doing when he makes a lowball offer like that.

Do you think Winky could beat Kessler?

That fight wouldnt do so great, no one really knows them.

168 isn't a good weight for Wright. Not that he can't be competitive and even win most of his fights there, but size will start to tell. As his skills start to slide with age the chances of a big loss creeping up on him increase the higher up he fights.
