    winky has been ducked his whole career, nothing new, Personally i believe he is ducking Winky in a way but you also have to factor in the money side of things. Its not like hes 30 years old, time is precious for him. The more money the better

      winky always gets ducked that aint rare at all. winky better hope jermain wins cause hopkins already let his intentions be known. winky should fight felix sturm or kingsley ikeke or whoever to make sure he gets the mandatories that way hopkins/taylor winner would have to vacate in order to avoid winky wright.

            I don't think Bernard is particularly frightened of fighting Winky in the true sense of the word.

            But Winky has an awkward but effective defensive style that makes him an unappealing prospect for any fighter.

            Even in beating him they can still look bad.

            Personally, I'm never enthralled at seeing Winky fight but I admire him. He's certainly caused a few upsets - he's one of those fighters that all but the most knowledgeable would tip against.

              i don't think b-hop is ducking winky, if this fight never happens its because the money is not there this fight would appeal to the hard boxing fan, but not the avearge fan their style are both boaring to the average fan so i don't think it would be a big buy on ppv ,bhop only wants big paydays to set himslef up financially and a winky fight won't produce it plus their is the risk factor of loosing this is why winky gets ducked by alot of fighters they have a lot to loose and little to gain ..

                Winky is a dangerous fight for Hopkins in my opinion...

                  Ducking Winky is a smart move for anybody. I hate it for Wright because I would love to see him take on everybody in that range. He deserves the big pay day. It is going to take Bernard's pride getting the best of him to get him the take on the great Winky Wright.

                    Yeah Winky Wright is probably the toughest fighter in the sport to figure out.
