floyd mayweather is not stopping winky wright, a big 154 lber who had a heck of a chin and beat punchers all the way to middleweight, when he can't stop marquez, berto, ortiz, canelo looking like a zombie, etc.
floyd mayweather stops a guy who went 12 with trinidad, vargas on no planet i've ever been to. i'd love to hear about why you think he would. floyd's performances where he looked to have the potency to hurt a durable 154 lber with as proven a chin as just about anybody who has fought at the weight, wright's performances where you think he showed the kind of vulnerability that makes you think floyd [a guy who coudln'st stop marquez,] wouldstop him, etc.Comment

deathbed canelo went 12 with floyd without even wobbling! what makes you think a guy with a much more proven chin can't do that?
that you seem to think floyd mayweather stops winky wright at any weight is just plain nuts. if enough people on here were watching boxing in 2005 when winky was a top flight boxer you'd be getting called out more consistently
you're talking about a much, much bigger guy with a bonafide great chin getting stopped by floyd mayweather, who couldn't put a dent in the chin of a canelo who was so drained he sat on a chair after he weighed in.Comment

Neither Fighter had anything to do with negotiations breaking down it was 100% Bob Arum and Gary Shaw
"I walked in, I told him: "I believe we have a deal,' " Shaw said. "And Bob said, "so it's a deal - 55-45 (money split)'.
"I said, "Bob, that was never, ever discussed, no deal' and that was that."
The day before, Shaw said he and Arum had agreed to a 50-50 purse split as well as other requests from Mayweather's camp. He added that Wright adviser Jim Wilkes and Don King, who has an option on Wright's next fight, agreed as well.
According to Shaw, however, Arum said he did not remember that conversation. Arum was unavailable for comment.
Actually it wasn't a fight by Popular Demand or anything like that it was just a curious match up as far as skills go but NO fans wasn't calling for this match up and neither was the boxing media
Same with Vernon Forrest, I don't think that fight was ever a thought for people at the time it wasn't until years after in which people used the late Vernon Forrest (RIP) to I guess try and discredit Mayweather I guess?

Winky wright was a straight up G @ 154. Technically sounds, always came to fight and had a unique style of counter pressure behind an atg jab.
De La Hoya wanted none of it. Mayweather wanted none of it Pacquiao doesn't want none of it. @ 154 in his prime boxes the breaks of all those fighters at 154. dude was a beast, and was always in a good fight.

Right ok, your first point is silly because you can't compare Canelo weighing in a Lb less than his previous weigh in and having no rehydration clause to Winky Wright having to cut back down to 154 from 160 and then only being allowed to rehydrate 8 lbs after the weigh in. It's two completely different scenarios. Canelo struggled to make 152 and rehydrated to a comfortable weight. Winky Wright might actually die if he had to weigh in 162 lbs on the same day of the fight.deathbed canelo went 12 with floyd without even wobbling! what makes you think a guy with a much more proven chin can't do that?

Secondly, you're comparing a 2005 Mayweather to a 2013 Mayweather which I shouldn't even have to explain why that's ******.
Winky Wright at 162 lbs in the ring would be severely drained and unhealthy. You can choose to ignore that but when a fighter is that badly drained there's every chance they will get stopped. History shows that.
Yes and if more people watched boxing in 2005 they would know about the rehydration clause that was agreed to and use logic as to why that outcome it at the very least a possibility.Comment
