Winky Really Lost....

[Italian250]

He actually did more damage to his future although no fault of his own. Beating the overhyped Trinidad the way he did, NONE of the top guys will want to go anywhere near him. He will become the next Chris Byrd in that there will be WAAAy to much risk vs reward in fighting him. The following line sums it up the best:



Accordingly, guys like Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor or Fernando Vargas, who could make equal (or more) money fighting less dangerous opponents, will probably opt to pass on fighting the new pound-for-pound candidate. Let’s be realistic for a moment. Without the promise of huge money, what is the incentive for them to risk looking like Trinidad did earlier tonight?

Exactly. Fighting Winky Wright equals the risk pf PUBLIC HUMILIATION. And that's something NO boxer wants to go thru!

He's definitely not an easy opponent because of his vaunted defense and his striking jabs. He's got long arms to protect his ribs, bends his torso to hide behind his gloves and has a great one-two counter. He can do this all night. You could say he's one dimensional as well.

true indeed......but he won't make money unless he is an exciting fighter........if he fights like sven ottke, he will only be a statistic and people WILL avoid him....for reasons of no money in the fight and the high risk of losing.

what do u mean the next chris burd? last tme i checked winky is dodging anyone and hasnt had judges save his ass, and isnt fighting nobodies

i know Bernard wont fight him cause hes only got 2 more fights left after Jermain and there wont be a lot of money in that fight. I can see jermain fighting him if he beats B-hop. I also think Vargas would fight him because he needs the fight to put him in the spot light again.

Hopkins wont go anywhere near Winky you are right about that!! Winky should have let Tito win a couple rounds and made it closer.. Itd mean a lot more $$$$$$$$$$$$$4 for him in the future!!

This is correct. And think about what he wrote. "Let" a fighter MANY consider to be an absolute LEGEND win a couple rounds! "LET HIM"! This is evidence Wright is an utter dominating machine!

[Martin (Top Knowledge)]

Yeah Winky Wright is one hell of a good fighter!... And no one's gonna be queing up to fight him. Winky Wright vs Bernard Hopkins... Now that would be a fight for the Coinsures of boxing!

They should call this fight Jibber Jabber.

I doubt he'll fight Vargas, he's still pissed Vargas wouldn't give him the rematch after the first fight.
