Taylor just fought two tough fights and has earned a breather and will almost certainly fight a lesser opponent next. An opponent he can open a can of whoopass on and erase the memory of the Hopkins bores.
That will build up interest for a Winky showdown, which is going to be an interesting fight for the serious boxing fan but a bore for the casual fan.
I think Winky right now is a tougher nut to crack than Hopkins was. Winky will not give away 6 rounds like Hopkins did, and Taylor seems to have stamina issues which I thought would be fixed for the 2nd Hopkins fight, but really weren't. He just wasn't as wild in the early rounds and kept a bit more gas in the tank, but he will be pressured for all 12 rounds by Winky.
