Williams Can Beat Pavlik and Abraham, Says Wright

You're talking round in circles. Not all of them were roadside bums, and he knocked out those who weren't.
Winky fought plenty of very lowly rated fighters (or roadside bums as you call them) at Jnr Midlleweight, and stopped very few of them. His last KO was in 1999 for goodness sakes, and his last TKO was in 2002.
If you honestly think Winky would have knocked out Miranda in four rounds you know very little about boxing.Last edited by Dave Rado; 04-12-2009, 01:06 AM.Comment

Lots of Americans have fought abroad. Winky Wright(!), Tyson, Lacy, Mitchell, McClellan, Robinson, and hundreds of others. Most Americans who didn't, it was either for commercial reasons or because their opponents were also American, or because they were the undisputed champion, and the challenger is the one who should be expected to travel. Nothing wrong with that, it only sucks is if their attitude is that they're not willing to fight anywhere. A true champion is willing to fight anywhere, even if for one reason or another, it makes sense for his fights to be at home.Last edited by Dave Rado; 04-12-2009, 01:09 AM.Comment

Your last statement, are u asking me if Winky would have knocked out Miranda in 4? Be honest you didnt think AA would have knocked him out in 4 rds. But again who is Miranda? Who has he beat, Allan Green? I dont mind you being a fan of AA but if he wants to fight a good fighter (which I believe he doesnt just a lot of hot air) then he WILL have to come to America. Or just stay in Germany with Sturm and hold the meaningless belt.You're talking round in circles. Not all of them were roadside bums, and he knocked out those who weren't.

But why would Pavlik travel he is the recognized MW champ. AA and Sturm are seen only as belt holders...Lots of Americans have fought abroad.

If the money's much better in Germany, why not? But I don't care where the fight is held, the point is that Abraham is willing to fight him in the States, but Pavlik is not willing to fight outside the States, regardless of which venue would make him more money; and in that situation, to say that it's Abraham who is hiding is ridiculous.Last edited by Dave Rado; 04-12-2009, 01:16 AM.Comment
