Let me guess...BARRERA, MORALES, and PACQUIAO, right? lol
Why does Winky Wright have to call people out?

Becuase generally his fighting style is dull and other boxers know he struggles to sell PPV - its getting better though.Comment

He'd beaten De La Hoya, Vargas, and Mayorga. How could be not be top 5? He had to be above Tszyu (WHO WAS KNOCKED OUT BY VINCE PHILLIPS) but he also had to be behind Mayweather (no losses) and Hopkins, so that puts him in the top 5. Who would you have ranked above him?!Comment

He's a slick boxer who also happens to be a southpaw. It's the story of his career ... the list of guys who DIDN'T fight him has several HOF'ers in it.
All the things orthodox fighters drill endlessly to do ... are the things a well trained southpaw like Winky sees and capitalizes on, second nature.Comment

nobody wants him cause he's not a big draw and he is very tough to be and makes people look terribleComment

Who would want to fight Winky? I mean the guy really is that good, and on top of all of that, he's a true middle weight. These other guys like Delahoya and the like, they aren't even close to real middle weights. Sure Felix has a big name, but he doesn't have the body to be a force in the middleweight division.
The same goes for Sturm. Oscar had a tough time with him because he's just too big.
Same story with Shane Mosley. He just didn't have the body to compete with the big boys.
Look at Bernard Hopkins. He fought little guys that he could just physically manhandle in the ring until he fought Jermain. It's a little different story when the guy you fight is a mirror image to you.
No one wants to fight Winky because he doesn't have star power and more than likely, he will beat their ass. It's a lose/lose situation for most fighters and unfortunately, in this day and age it's not about beating the best, it's about lining your pockets with as much dough as you can, so you fight all of the tomato cans you can find until somebody makes you fight a real contender.
You didn't see Bernard itching to fight Winky, and I'll betcha that you won't see Jermain, (if he gets past Bernard) rushing out to fight Winky either.
Maybe Winky should quit trying to be a nice guy and change his nickname.
Maybe he should star in some **** movies with Tyson. Maybe he could get some better fights then.
I dunno.Comment
