Comments Thread For: Peter Quillin: Winky Wright Fight All But Done for May 5

[Ringlife]

So just because Winky didn't want to fight on Fox sports or ESPN and fight tune ups we have to watch him on this horrible undercard. So far Mosley is done as a fighter and so is Winky. I hope they both get KTFO with the quickness.

If Winky is still the Winky from the P-Williams fight (stylistic nightmare for Winky at any point in his career), he makes this a very good fight (Taylor-Wright good). Quillin is a fast, strong, economical puncher that has good power, but he doesn't have the output, strength, or footwork to keep Winky off of him or the defense to avoid Winky's shots.

Winky is not Mosley, he isn't going to use all the tricks to avoid fighting, he's going to press the fight for 12 rounds and try to win; the pressure will be on Quillin to exploit what he can. This fight will be better than people are predicting.

I could be wrong but I don't think he officially retired.

After the Hopkins fight I think he tried to fight Pavlik but KP's team turned it down because Wright had turned down a fight with Pavlik in the past. I remember he had a guaranteed HBO fight and word was that he was holding out for a bigger payday than they wanted to give him, so he sat and waited for a while and eventually was chosen for PWill.

Pretty sure he was going to fight in Puerto Rico at some point, either as a tune-up for Williams or a comeback fight afterwards, but pulled out with injury. Then he supposed to fight Macklin about a year or so ago and I think pulled out of that with injury as well.

I could be a bit off on some of the details but that's how I remember it anyway. I also think their were promotional issues as well, he signed for Arum, didn't get the fights he wanted and so went back to GBP, or something along those lines.

Thanks man I wondered happened to him.
