Vernon Forrest vs Winky Wright?

[Thraxox]

Who would win between them and why is it that this fight never happened?

[Metho_4u]

Wright in prime... defense was too solid, jab was too good, and he had a really good chin anyway.

I give the edge to Winky too, I don't remember why the fight never happened, but I don't think Winky was competing at 154 by the time Forrest moved up to the division.

[True That]

Good question

This would have been a great fight.

I'm not sure on my prediction, something I have to think about.

Winky simply was not active enough and Forrest would have kept him on defense

Question, just how good do you think a prime forest was???
In your opinion?

He was a solid fighter, Long fast, good fundamentals and nice power...He was active enough to keep Winky on defense and had the power to hurt Winky and back him up...I honestly think Winky was very limited and his defense did not allow him to counter at all
