Winky Wright-Arthur Abraham Still Tentative For Jan

Risky fight for Winky to take with over a year off and Abraham shouldn't gain much weight at all between his rematch with Marquez and January.

BoxingScene.com was advised by a source close to the camp of Winky Wright (51-4-1, 25 KOs), that IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (27-0, 22 KOs) is still the frontrunner to become Wright's first opponent since a decision loss to Bernard Hopkins [catch-weight of 170-pounds] in July of 2007. The fight would take place on January 24 on HBO. [details]

Easy win for Winky.

i agree, i see speed and accuracy being determining factors and this fight is definitely not happening @ 160.

Right now I am not so sure. He is older and will be as rusty as hell. Prime for the taking IMO.

it seems like joe c is calling the shots on winkys career. if he retires then pavlik-aa is made and winkys left with his **** in his hand, if he fights pavlik, then winky gets his fight with aa.

if winky doesn't get abraham hopefully he can get kessler
