    But as far as the middleweights Winky is still a force to reckon with. He's like the Marvin Hagler of this era will less punching power.
    winky isn't anything like hagler

    anyways id like to see winky make one last go of it maybe with a fight against a good top 5 MW. i still think fights with sturm, mundine, macklin would be interesting.

      Lol @ anyone saying Winky is done after only the second decisive loss of his career. He has not taken bad beatings in fights through his career and has plenty left to offer. Even against PWill, though he lost a lopsided fight he didn't take a bad beating, many shots were just bouncing off of his gloves.....he could probably beat any MW other than PWill's because of the awful style match up he presents.

        Yeah tito can't speak english but i think he do understands english, and i think winky can speak spanish. If not you can easily find a translator. Moreover, at least 18.65% of Floridians do speak spanish as their second language.

          I don't know either, but it is true that they have a close friendship. If you saw the HBO countdown for Hopkins-Wright, they show Tito in Winky's camp giving him support and helping him train for the fight. I also read one time how Winky went down to PR to watch some of the Pro Puerto Rico basketball games there with Tito, and how they always hang out when Winky is in PR. I am not sure how they communicate because I saw in the Trinidad-Wright prefight show when they were showing Winky in PR, he didn't speak or understand spanish, and we know Tito speaks only a very small amount of english.

            Yeah, but probably 90% of that 18.65% is from the spanish speakers in Miami and Orlando, Winky is from St. Petersburg, and from what I saw in my breif time in St. Pete there weren't many latinos or spanish speakers there.
