Summer 2005, Winky Wright 'vs' Floyd Mayweather

There's a big difference in fighting at 150 & 154, and theres an even bigger difference in fighting Winky instead of Oscar. Winky @ 154 is a nightmare for any fighter in the history of the sport. Winky has the potential & tools to make most good fighters look horrible. If PBF would've fought Winky back then, PBF would've lost. He wouldn't have been schooled, this would've been an example that a good big man beats a good big man. PBF possibly could've won 3 rounds at the most, but those rounds would've been the toughest rounds of his life. Til this day, PBF hasn't faced anyone as smart or skilled as a prime Winky.

 

You dummy, Winky was a pretty decent draw back then, he wasn't getting 3,4,5 mil for drawing in only 200K fans

 

there fighting?

 

floyd will pot shot his way to victory. Winky is not quick for he can't even cut the corners off an old hopkins. Floyd would hit and get away easy all night. Wide UD.

 

He better be prepared to potshot and then hold on for dear life, like Beranrd did after every punch he threw. If PBF does his shoulder roll crap like he did against DLH along the ropes Winky will beat him down.

 

Agreed!

 

Winky KO 1.

 

At 154 thrn Winky would have won pretty clear,he had his legs,his speed,decent pop,better reflexes.

 

lol Winky is too Big and Too skilled for Floyd @ that weight.

 

Floyd would be eating that jab all night. Winky has ridiculously long arms and would have the height and weight advantage.

Imagine the DLH jab that put him ahead of PBF over the first 5 rounds but continuing for all 12.

Bad matchup for PBF, in fact, bad matchup for nearly anyone at 154.

 

Winky, no problem

too big, too strong and too good at this weight.

 

Winky ud

 

I said it back then and say it now. Winky would have beaten PBF. Too big too good of jab and too good of defense. Winky at 154 was the truth.

 

Of corse someone like you would say that. You probably thought that the Floyd-vs-Big Show at wrestlemania was a real fight as well.

Winky beats Floyd everytime they would have fought.

 

Yes sir. And at 154 he likely would have come in around 165. Southpaw, tough as nails, piston jab. Hell, he gave Hopkins all he could handle at 170, and I don't think in real terms he would have weighed that much less at 154. It would not be the blowout that some suggest, though. Mosley did reasonably well in the second bout against Winky (some argument for a draw IS possible). Mayweather is faster and has much better defense than Shane. Less power.
