    Winky style is boring to watch. The reason he has been on an exciting fights cause like mosley, vargas and taylor with their style would make an exciting fights. If winky fought guys like hopkins then i bet all my money that this fight will be soo boring it could be worst then watching ruiz vs valuev.

      a lot of fighters find there niche. winky on his slipping and sliding and quick jabs. hopkin his conserving energy stalking. they may seem booring but its a science. you get these k2 boxers and you put them in the ring with a real boxer and they fail.in an alley fight these kickboxers rule but in a legit ring the skills it takes in the art and science of boxing overwelms most.
      except for the state the hvweight division is in. you got guys like peter giving wlad a hard time. hilarious.

        And trinidad was a boring fight? Winky actually landed some bone crunching shots in that fight. i loved it.

        And Vargas was an outstanding fight. Just beautiful action. It was a technical fight at times, but when right walks into a powerpuncher, it makes a great fight

        Just like against taylor. Wright walked into Taylor for 11 rounds and it made an outstanding fight. One of my favorite fights of all times, and u can only get that kind of action from winky wright. his style is so unique.

        I guess thats why im such a big boxing fan. i am rarely bored by a boxing match, technical or not. But even so, i find winky very exciting to watch in almost all his fights.

        I think Winky is an exiting fighter.
        The Trinidad fight was very watchable. It was a boxing lesson, just because Wright didnt get hit doesnt mean it wasnt exiting for me.

              You have to understand, most people watch boxing in hopes of someone getting their head knocked off. Wright isnt that type of fighter. But if you appreciate defense, jabbing and boxing basics, you will love Wright.

                Exactly. That's why some people say that he doesn't generate a crowd because he's not the type of fighter that brawls in the ring or even just let the hands go. For example when he fought Soloman there were boo's coming from the crowd. Everyone watches boxing for their own reasons whether is to see a techinically sound fighter or simply to witness 2 fighters beat the **** out of each other.

                  Wright is a very boring fighter. When he learns to commit with his punches and hurt someone, then maybe the real boxing fans will watch his fights.

                    So you don't think Taylor-Wright was exciting?
