    Boxing does not need Sergio Martinez vs. Winky Wright...

    ... God damn that is a boring fight! Give us Martinez vs. Pirog, Martinez vs. Sturm, please anything but Winky Wright. Beating up an old Winky at middleweight will prove nothing.

      lol you do realize that he has a signed fight against Dzinziruk for March, right? Don't get me wrong that will be equally as boring, but it'll be very competitive. If Martinez can manage to get a knockout, that would be amazing.

        Yes, yes, I know that. But after the Dzinziruk fight there's talk of Martinez fighting the winner of Macklin-Wright. Not cool.

            If Winky looks impressive against Macklin. I have no problem with Pirog-Winky or Martinez-Winky.

              I think the stylistic mismatch made Winky look worse against Paul but lets see how he looks coming up before we say whether he and Sergio is a bad match, that is if Sergio can get past Dinzuruk

                It's not going to happen. HBO already rejected Winky as a Martinez opponent when Winky tried to make the fight just a little while back.

                  I think Martinez-Wright is actually a pretty good matchup. Winky is one of the best defensive fighters of his generation, very smart and if he's not burnt out, he could give Sergio a ton of trouble.

                  But Sergio has his hands full against Dzinzurik in March, Sergei ain't no Pavlik or Williams.

                    Of course it doesn't. What is the point?

                    If Winky could be the Winky of 7 years ago, I'd be all for this fight. Unfortunately, Winky fights like the Winky of 7 years from now. Probably needs to hang 'em up.
