and for winky to think that he won and not to give a rematch, i agree that he should go back and rematch taylor. i think that wright knows that taylor is only going to get better, that or he is trying to get more money(most likely the case) but as far as face is concerned he should fight taylor again.
tyalor is a hard worker and thats how he's won his last three fights. sometimes all you have to do is throw alot whether it lands or not, and you'll get the nod............
don't get me wrong i like taylor and i like to watch him fight, but i didn't see him beat up hopkins to win, i saw him lose one, a draw in the rematch, and a draw with wright. but he won all three, and they're all jotted down in history. and thats the way she goes.
