Winky wright: "sergio should consider me if he wants to enhance his legacy"

[Check]

Winky called Cotto out and Cotto never mentioned his name. Cotto wouldn't get a lot of credit for beating him. But he's better than Foreman.

When did Winky call him out? When Miguel was at 147 or something? Wink has never been in the same division as Miguel.

He mentioned him when there was talk about him signing with Top Rank which was not too long ago. I mean, it should be an easy fight for Miguel shouldn't it? Since Miguel himself was drained against Pacquiao like his fans say.

The fight just doesn't make sense. I'd be the first to admit that Wink would be a tough matchup for Miguel but honestly Wink doesn't make sense career wise or money wise. Yes, he would of been tougher than Foreman but Foreman had a belt and was undefeated. Having a belt has more pull than a win over a very inactive fighter. Now the fight even makes less sense because Miguels next fight will be against one of the very best at 154 or 147. Winks whole career has been filled with bad management and now he is just dying for a payday.

"Sergio should consider me if he wants to enhance his legacy. It would be great for his career. Pavlik was good for his career, but a win over Winky Wright, if he can get it, would be great for his career. It would stamp his induction into the Hall of Fame," stated former undisputed jr. middleweight champion and future Hall of Famer Winky Wright as he threw his name into the mix as a potential challenge for middleweight king Sergio Martinez. After being informed of FightHype's latest report about Paul Williams and Martinez not being interested in a rematch, despite the fact that HBO is trying to force them into one, Wright was eager to offer up his services for a potential high-profile bout.

"Every young fighter that comes up has to fight one of the great old ones in order to be considered something. Yeah, he can fight these young guys that out there now, but that ain't going to do nothing because they haven't achieved anything themselves," Wright commented when he was told of the other possibile names that promoter Lou DiBella was hoping to get HBO to agree to. "They just fighting just to win, but if you beat a guaranteed Hall of Famer, it just elevates your career to the next level," he continued.

Indeed, Wright brings up a good point, as guys like Vanes Martirosyan (28-0, 17 KOs), interim jr. middleweight champion Alfredo Angulo (18-1, 15 KOs) and WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm bring very little to the table as far as name-recognition is concerned. In fact, a win over any of those opponents would do little to enhance the legacy of Martinez, who's looking to capitalize off the biggest win of his career. In fact, an impressive win over Wright would say a lot about the career of Martinez, who not only is considered to be the middleweight king, but also holds a title at jr. middleweight, the same division that Wright once reigned supreme over.

"If they want to get the fight done, all they gotta do is call Richard Schaefer. It's real simple. Richard Schaefer will be more than happy to work things out with whoever it is it has to be worked out with in order to make that fight. And Cotto too," Wright added, making it clear that he's still more than willing to face the top names in both the middleweight and jr. middleweight division.

winky is a great fighter but he needs to retire

[apokalips]

He should retire man. If he is serious about Boxing then why not take it serious and be active? Beating Winky doesn't do anything for Martinez...P Will soundly beat him not long ago and a rematch with him is much more worth Sergio's while.

[BlackSnakeMamba]

Prime Winky Wright would have beaten Sergio Martinez, but at this stage of his career Sergio would KO Winky Wright.

Winky should stay retired.

[Monkz]

Winky just needs to be more active, get in the ring with someone and shake off the ring rust and then step it up in competition.
