    It's absolutely true. He's a tough guy to beat and he's high risk low reward...always has been.

          In reality only Calzaghe, Hopkins is bigger. Since the likelihood of Winky landing a fight with one of those guys is slim I must say his statement is ... well.... silly...?

            So what does him having a bigger name have to do with this thread?

            Or are we just scoring points for stating the obvious?

              Didnt he turn down 3.5 mil or a rematch with Taylor because he wanted the bigger share of the purse?

              Worst move ever.

                He lost his right to ***** about fighting people when he turned these dudes down. Just like he lost his right to ***** about the descision when he didnt fight the 12th in the Taylor fight.

                  Doubt he draws as much as either of them.

                    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.
                    nobody wants to fight him, but when they do, he loses!!!!!!

                      And the people who turned him down are bigger names than he is. So he's a major hypocrite.
