    What's up with Winky?

    Are you looking forward to seeing Winky fight again?

    Who do you want him to fight?

    I think Winky-Pavlik would be good!

      Winky has something left in the tank, but he needs to fight come-forward fighters because that's what his style is best against.

        Correction: Come forward fighters who don't throw a lot of punches.

        I would love to see Wright fight again... he's one of my favorites.

        I would like to see him against Sturm first and foremost. Other than that, either Pavlik or Abraham, although he doesn't deserve either after his fight against Williams.

        160 is such a bad division that I really can't come up with anyone other than that.

        Oh yeah, I would like to see him beat Kassim Ouma now so we can all ***** about fighting people in their prime... I think that whole sequence would really amuse me for some reason.

          160 doesn't look quite so hot right now - apaprt from the two champs and two other fighters i can't really see alot happening.

          imo winky should try and get 2 more fights, first of all take on sturm/mundine and then take on a champ either AA or Pavlik. imo AA might have vacated by then and winky could become a title holder.

          154 looks alot hotter right now, imo winky would secure a fight with the champs alot easier at this weight division

            Mundine would be an okay fight too... or Vernon Forrest (although I don't think fight will ever happen... I believe the two are too close of friends to square off if I remember correctly). Other than that, I can't think of too many 154 pounders who are ready to move up to 160, and I'm not sure Wright can make 154 anymore.

              Na, a come forward fighter who throws a lot of punches is Kelly Pavlik, Winky would block all of his punches and jab him to death. Paul Williams is a fighter who throws a lot of punches, comes forward, and has lateral movement/gives a hell of a lot of angles. Williams>Wright>Pavlik. I believe Winky Wright vs Arthur Abraham would make for a good fight due t their sacraficing of workrate for accuracy and blocking.

                  Does anyone really still care about Winky? One of the most in-active fighters around.

                    At this moment in time Winky Wright has become the undisputed top high risk/low reward fighter, he's got enough left to possibly outclass someone like a Kelly Pavlik but even if Kelly were to get a lucky punch in and get the ko, Winky is already over the hill/ he wouldn't get much money/ People would start demanding he fight paul williams, the same paul williams with a longer reach than George Foreman and Wladimir Klitschko and throws more punches than Joe Calzaghe! extrme lose/lose situation
