Poor Winky Wright

Prime Winky for Prime Floyd, who wins?

All the way Winky, too slick for Floyd!

 

I loved Winky as a fighter, always thought he had phenominal talent, but he seemed to think too much of himself and this shroud that nobody would fight him was only before Mosely - like said he priced himself out too much. Which is a shame because he would of beat Margo and Oscar quite handily I believe.

 

He's a hell of a technician, but man his fights are boring...

 

Winky Wright is one of the most underrated fighters of this era.:deal

 

why poor winky? dude made enough money !?

 

Winky has screwed himself to many times for me to have any sympathy.

 

Yeah, it wouldn't make sense from Martinez's point of view to fight someone like Wink. Wink might be old, but I bet he still has a few tricks up his sleeves, which is not worth taking the risk to find out imo, irrespective of his age he's still a skilled fighter.

 

Winky still got it, I wish he would fight a few more be4 he retires.

 

If he has tricks left, I don't want to see and find out. He was a pretty boring fighter even in his prime.

 

it would be hard to get the sources but if you really want i can search around.

also dont forget how he turned down an immediate rematch with jermain taylor.

and damn if you think he won against bhop you gotta get your head checked it wasn't even close.

 

harold is an idiot that fight was 8-4 hopkins (i think)

winky was doing ok till he got cut, he started crying when he got cut and started complaining to the ref and even almost went down (or he did i think?), ater that cut he basically gave up.

and there is no reason to feel sorry for him, he's made more money than you and me combined and lives a comfortable life in vegas.

 

Winky really screwed himself a lot between 2006 and 2008, and that's when he sort of fell off the map. He turned down an immediate rematch with Jermain Taylor, turned down multiple deals against Pavlik, and turned down a fight with Abraham.
