Winky Wright Claims Most Fighters Avoid Him

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By T.K. Stewart - Ronald 'Winky' Wright just turned 37 years old, hasn't won a fight in over two years, is returning from a sound thrashing at the hands of Bernard Hopkins and is now sporting braces on his teeth. [details]

Winky offered Margarito 1.5 for a fight back in 2006. Which would have been Margarito highest pay day at the time, yet he calls himself the most feared man in boxing. Laughable just like his career

[Addition]

This **** needs to shut the **** up, always asking for way too much money.

[OttkeTurpin]

I laughed my head off at this crap.

Winky, you're a great fighter, but the reason nobody wants to fight you is because if your financial demands were met, there wouldn't be enough money left for your opponent to even cover his training expenses.

Hahaha one of my favorite posters around here. Damn right.

Winky is HIGHLY avoided. Hopkins was one of few main enough to fight him. He overpriced himself because he has that snitch Chris Lighty running the show, but still, it did not take Paul long to get the fight.

Winky is about to beat down. His opposition didnt pick up until 04 when he fought Mosley...and beat him twice. He beat a long lay off Tinidad. wow Then a draw with Taylor and Hopkins took him to school. No wonder know body wants to meet his $demands. He aint worth $

Dude has a rep for bein greedy. The most feared **** is old and we've heard it from too many cats before. Winky was an avoided man yrs ago, but he's notorious for demandin too much $. It's too bad cuz the inactivity has taken valuable time off his career. I would pick him over anybody at 160 at his best but I'm afraid he's wasted too much ****in time.

How can you be sure that he's demanding too much money, and that the people he calls out aren't just saying that he is, in order not to have to fight him? They never give actual details of the negotiations, or of what he was demanding, they just make vague accusations that he demanded too much, which he denies; and the fact that he's fighting Williams (which is hardly a huge money fight) indicates that his demands in this fight at least can't have been outrageous.

Very good point. Who's to say they just didnt want to fight him and PW is the only one to step up to the plate.

They do, I would too.
