    Has Winky slowed down?

    Last night on WNF,Teddy Atlas stated that he thought Winky has slowed down the past couple of years.And thats why he thinks that Taylor will win.Have you guys seen any evidence of this?

    Yes, he is also showing his age quite a bit if you look at him now. Winky looked bad in terms of being in shape vs Solimon. I'm actually judging the fight on how good Wright looks. If Winky looks in shape and ready to go I'm thinking he will win... If he looks sloppy like in the Solimon fight then I'm picking Taylor. We will see.

        They said he was very sick during the Soliman fight and almost pulled out even.......True or not I don't know but I don't think he has shown signs of slowing down yet hell 3 out of his last 4 fights were some of the best performances of his career.

          Teddy doesnt know what he's talking about. Solimans style is weird as hell, WInky was sick as hell. Im sure Winky didnt train as hard as he would a Mosley or Taylor. He won that fight on skill and veteran savy and just being better than Soliman as he dominated. He's gonna be in the best shape of his life coming in this fight. Winky isnt taking no for an anwser. Those belts are as good as his

            he has slowed down a bit, but i think its more because he has gained muscle mass, and a lot of it. the hand speed and quickness that he loses, are made up in strength, which is better with Winkys defensive style

              That belt.......I read today Winky said he is only paying the sanctioning fees for the WBC because he does not care about belts and it will keep an estimated 200k in his pocket not the WBO and WBAs pockets.......smart move if you ask me.

                Winky had the best fight of his career 2 fights ago, and fought Soliman with the flu. Your basing WInky slowing down on him fighting with the flu?

                  Winky is really in his prime pretty much. He's just got to move up in weight, giving him more energy than in the past, and also has showed some of the best performances in his life vs Tito and Shane.

                  Soliman was very busy and would make anyone look a bit bad. Winky didn't look average in that fight because he was old, but because he was sick. He had the flu. Remember?

                  Keep track, people.
