    The middleweight division is terrible. This fight actually probably improved Winky's appeal as an opponent, really if Winky can get a win or two under his belt I can see him getting a fight with any of the top guys. I would not fight Paul Williams again if I was Winky, but against a different type of fighter he might do better.

      No way. He didn't look bad, Pwill just brought the heat. Winky can still win some fights based on what he showed tonite.

        Lets be honest here. Wright is 37 years old, has fought for two decades as a professional and hasn't had more than two fights since 2006, both of which he has lost. Tonight he barely won a round on the judges' scorecards and probably got hit with more punches than he has been hit throughout his whole career.

        I think it's time to hang them up. Now I'm sure he won't but that's just my opinion.

          Winky wasn't so bad, I actually think he won three or four rounds. Winky would have beaten a lot of top tier fighters at 154 or 160 if he gave the performance he gave tonight.

            I'd say because he obviously likes to make a lot of money - Yes he should retire because those big money fights are no longer there for him.

            Even though he isn't done and the Williams fight was obviously the worst possible first fight back for him. It has left him with not many options out there until he was to drop down to 154 and challenge another up and comer like Angulo or Kirkland. Both of those fights are very very very hard fights for him at this stage in his career.

              I think that winky might have 2 more good fights in him..... BUT he definatly has to pick a guy that ain't a top notch Champ like a Pavlick or Abraham. I think hes really hyped himself up with that no one wants to fight me BS.

                No way, he shouldn't retire he looked better in this fight than he did in the Hopkins fight......he was just in there against a machine tonight.

                  It'd be nice if he retired but it doesn't sound like he will. So, hopefully he fights a limited opponent or at least not a freak or top level fighter.

                    NO
                    he was rusty but put up a decent fight
                    his Defense held it down for him, i hope his next fight he throws more punches

                      You worded it better than me.
