    its a good fight. winky can beat abraham. winky should stay away from kessler though.

      The puzzle at 160-168 gets weirder and weirder. How can this fight still be in the works for January when AA has postponed his fight with Marquez? And what about the AA-Pavlik fight also mentioned for january. I sense a lot of smoke here.

        I'm not saying Winky can't beat Abraham, it's just a risky fight to take with over a year off, ring rust and age could play a big factor, Abraham is a pretty big puncher too.

        The Marquez fight was postponed to November, obviously both Winky's and Abraham's camps are hoping for an easy time out with Marquez and for Abraham to get through without sustaining any injuries.

        I didn't hear anything about Pavlik-Abraham for January.

          yeah but winky doesn't want any tune ups. he just wants the money. its a risk he's willing to take.

            He wanted a tuneup for November but the HBO contract prevents him from fighting 90 days before his January date.

              Right. The Pavlik January date originally came from Sauerland. To me this Winky stuff is really just a positioning battle we are witnessing.

                anybody who watches boxing, understands wright beats this guy.........

                he DREW w/ JT, whom many ppl think he beat, but i had it a draw.....

                and hopkins is hopkins. a legend first and foremost, but also kind of hard to look good against when you both fight the same type of fights.

                AA beat miranda, who's a slugger.........winky is in a total different class.

                he's a defensive minded technician, whom AA has never seen b4. wright takes him to school. no doubt in my mind.............

                  keep wishing.....AA isn't on pavlik's radar yet........IF pavlik beats bernard, he fights the winner of jones-calzaghe next.
