Here is an idea, why not have Winky Wright in the tournament?

    He is a better choiose than NMiranda that is for sure.

      please man...dude couldn't even bend down and tie his shoelaces when he got roughhoused by nard @ 170...they'd have to roll him under the bottom rope @ 168...

          It would be interesting. I think he'd be a welcome addition.

          He didn't do too badly against Williams, it's just that Williams was too much for him. Winky threw around 500+ punches in that fight, I believe, so he wasn't as rusty as some would like to think.

          His legs are gone, he won't be effective in chasing down opponents, but his defense is still solid. I don't expect him to get hurt a la Taylor.

          This tournament could be his 2 year long swan song, which makes up for the time he was inactive.

            **** yeah.... winky would take all them IMO... like you said, williams just overwhelmed a rusty ronald wright with his volume, nobody in the tourney can put out that kind of volume...

            winky would do to froch what he did to Tito...

                Winky ain't big enuf for 168 imo. And probably can't go thru wit 3 fights in a tournament.

                  winky is too small for 168.... he should stick to 160.

                    there was discussions of this, long before the pwill fight.... in germany though and winky knew there was no way he could get a decision in germany against AA... since he knew he wouldnt knock him out...

                    sure he can mang... he doesnt need to be a power puncher, he can come in at 168 fight night and do fine...

                      winky has no power at 154, he'll have less at 168... ****, i didn't even think winky handled taylor's power well.
