    Can't Margarito move up to 160. Is it that hard. Winky is his height and have same reach

        Sam Soliman gave Winky a pretty close fight. Sam Soliman throws alot of punches at wicked angles. Sam Soliman is featherfisted. I'd expect Winky/Margarito to end with a SD either way.

          The initial offer was made by Arum to Winky. He offered Winky $4mil, but Winky bitched and moaned about how he wanted the same $8mil they offered Floyd. Arum/Margarito moved on, and Winky/GBP made a counter offer to Arum, but by that time, it was too late. Marg was already in the process of setting up a fight with Clottey.

            How much did he get fighting Clottey?? More than the 1.5 million Winky offered

              Dont know, but what i do know is that Arum/Marg were the ones who initiated the offer, and were interested in making the fight happen in the first place. Winky should've jumped on the $4mil when it was offered. Im sure he didnt make that much to fight Ike Quartey after turning down Arums offer.

                Winky was a Top 5 P4P fighter like Floyd at the time. And Winky was a known fighter at the time. Why shouldn’t he get offered the same as Floyd. He was worth as much as Floyd at the time.

                  I don't think this fight ever had a real chance of happenin. Winky was already the top rated MW contender by then.
