Looks like if Pavlik beats Hopkins and Joe beats Roy, Abraham may fight Winky. Winky has been pretty inactive and is not getting any younger. If they meet, who do you like?
if winky comes in the exact same way as he was before the long lay-off i take him ud, if anything else than arthur abraham
just imagining it style wise that fight sounds boring as hell both guys using the peek-a-boo defense waiting to counter each other all night long. ewwww...
That's a tough call. In his best physical condition I say Winky by close UD. He was out of the ring for so long, but we just don't know if he was training or not. MW looked natural to Winky and his jab is better than AAs. He's also busier. It's just a bad, horrible matchup in style for Abraham, he can really look bad vs. the former P4P#2. Not at all a good choice for an HBO debut. Actually, I would skip this one if I were Sauerland, a fight vs. a puncher sounds much better. Why not Abraham vs. Duddy? The public would see a good fight and another huge King Arthur knockout. The Sturm-Sylvester winner would be nice too but it will never happen, definitely not on HBO. Then maybe he should move up to SMW. Abraham vs. Bika, Green, Zuniga, Berrio, all sounds good to me.
or indeed AA against Kessler. I'd pick Abraham to beat Kessler, and also Winky, whom I've never rated that highly tbh
Calzaghe would be a stylistic nightmare for Winky because ... ok, let's not take Calzaghe because his slapper-style is a nightmare for any boxer pretty much. Pavlik. Pavlik is a stylistic nightmare for Winky. Pavlik is too busy and when Winky goes into his shell Pavlik will enjoy getting the time to bang away. AA on the other ahdn does not bang away none-stop. AA picks his moments and with Winky being a very cautious fighter there may not be many. AA needs opponents that are busy to look really good. Winky need opponents that are not too busy to look good. Neither of them are very busy, so the match-up suits Winky best.
