    This isn't exactly prime Winky we're talking about here. Besides this fight likely being more boring than it ought to given the caliber of fighters because of the style matchup, I think Abraham's too big, too young, and hits too hard for this version of Winky.

    I'd wager on a late stoppage for Arthur if this fight happened.

    In addition AA has great respect for Winky's acomplishments and picked him to beat Taylor when they were to fight. AA would bring himself into the best shape of his life an would be highly motivated to beat Winky...

    Yes, Abraham is younger than Wright, but why does everyone think Wright is shot? Because he lost to B-Hop at 170 pounds? I think at middleweight Winky is still one of the top three fighters out there. Abraham is a good fighter too, he comes maybe at #5, but skillwise Winky has too much for Abraham. Abraham will have his moments but Winky is too experienced, he will nullify Abrahams offense and impose his game-plan over the rounds. Abraham doesn't have the ability to take Winkys jab away, like B-Hop did, so I think Winky will win by UD.

    Abraham won a decision over Eastman that could have gone either way, and robbed Miranda. But the fights were in Germany.
    Ikeke, Jantua and Gevor are nothing more than B-level fighters.
    Winky, on the other hand, beat Mosley, Trinidad, Quartey, drew with Taylor (in a fight most thought Winky won) and lost a close fight to Hopkins at 170. All those fighters are A-level fighters.

    I like Abraham by decision. He is a stud. Winky Wright with power. He would beat up on Winky who is not the same fighter that he used to be.

    this is the whoel thing.

    f you can take his jab away then all he does is block which is hard to look good against. hopkins had the excuse of being old and a 170 pounder. when mosley tried to it worked but he wasnt getting much winning out of it.

    arthur is a great puncher but this is also a small middlewieght we are talking about here at 5'10...barely making that he was the same size of gevor who is around 5'8...and winky wright who maybe not big but is a bold defined fighter at middlewieght

    i would take winky too much of a solid boxer for him. where as all the other guys abrahams beat where good fighter...mostly thats all they were good fighters not pure boxers.

    At middle weight? Winky by decission.
