Winky Wright Claims Most Fighters Avoid Him

[RAESAAD]

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

[Pullcounter]

He is a bigger name. Whats your point?

you just said it

[dde91]

floyd called his ****ing ass out and winky wright didn't fight him, this was back in 05. floyd called out everybody worth calling out in 2005, and they turned him down, coz they knew.

Winky would **** Floyd in the ring.

[BattlingNelson]

winky can make a case for himself that he is a bigger name than kessler and abraham

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...?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

you just said it

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

Or are we just scoring points for stating the obvious?

[Xcusemymood]

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.

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

Worst move ever.

[Xcusemymood]

Yeah. I good thing he said 'most' since he flat out turned down those guys.

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.

[Xcusemymood]

well, in fairness to winky, he is a bigger name than abraham and kessler

Doubt he draws as much as either of them.

[ricky1978]

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.

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

[Dave Rado]

well, in fairness to winky, he is a bigger name than abraham and kessler

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