Has Winky Wright retired

I agree but try convincing others that Winky isnt as he once was.....its a chore

 

Your prediction on who wins out of Pavlik-Hopkins and by what method. And also on who Pavlik beats out of Calzaghe, Kessler and Bute.

EDIT: No need for long analitical predictions. Simply state the name of the winner of Pavlik-Hopkins and the method of victory, KO, TKO, UD, SD, MD etc. And then simply the names of Calzaghe, Kessler and Bute and a simply 'yes' if Pavlik beats them or 'no' if he loses to them.

 

Its difficult to say Tommy.
I pick Pavlik over Hopkins, I would give a prime Hopkins a chance but not now..In my opinion Pavlik may have some trouble adjusting to Hopkins at first but will settle in and use his jab to set up the uppercut for the forever leading with his head Hopkins, I also see Pavlik slowing Hops down with liberal body work. Most importantly I don't think Pavlik gets drawn into a Hopkins type of fight if anything Hopkins will be forced to fight a Pavlik fight.
As for Kessler or Bute, havent given em much thought

 

You've lost all credibility. Goodbye.

 

because I pick Pavlik?
Yea I'm a big idiot for picking a prime MW king over an overhyped old man thats a shell of his former self Don't go away this is really getting funny

 

You said you would give a prime Hopkins a chance. And now you've said you wouldn't give Hopkins any chance now to beat Pavlik.

Come on, winner of Pavlik vs Calzaghe/Kessler/Bute.

 

I knew you wouldnt stay gone long tommy
Out of Calzaghe, Kessler, and Bute the only fighter right now I could see beating Pavlik is Kessler
Pavlik T/ko or UD Bute
Pavlik T/KO or UD Joe
Emphasis on "right now"

 

Hopkins is still in his prime?:huh

 

So you think Kessler has a chance, but who would you pick and by what method?

Does Pavlik dominate either Bute or JC and give them a prostained beating? Or are they pretty close fights?

 

You said 'If Hopkins was in his prime I would give him a chance of beating Pavlik, but right now he doesn't have a chance'.

 

I think all three prospective bouts are extremely close, honestly I see Joe being the easiest of them

 

Precisely:good

 

Kessler is slick, quick, and powerful, Kessler has superb boxing skills which combined with the previous attributes I've mentioned can UD Pavlik. Kessler in many ways is a white Jermain Taylor

 

So we'll sum up before I leave.

1) You think Daniel Santos, Cory Spinks and Felix Sturm beat Winky.

2) You think James Kirkland would put Winky down if they fought.

3) You think a prime Hopkins only has a chance against Pavlik

4) You think Hopkins now has no chance against Pavlik in their fight.

5) You think Bute and Calzaghe would be close with Pavlik, but don't give either a real chance of winning right now.

6) You think Calzaghe is the easier fight for Pavlik.

Once you've finished cupping Pavlik's sack I will be happy to debate with you in the future.

 

I'll say this before I leave. Winky, if he has a good tune-up first, comes into the ring with a good win and confidence and he's focused and in shape after the Hopkins fight at 170, beats Santos, beats Sturm, beats Kirkland (and no way in hell does Kirkland put Winky down in this fight), beats De La Hoya, and beats Abraham. I would give him a clear 65/35 chance against Pavlik aswell.

I think Pavlik loses to Hopkins now, and a prime Hopkins would dispose of Pavlik, let alone have just a chance the guy would destroy him. I think right now Pavlik loses to Hopkins, Calzaghe, Kessler and Bute.

Goodbye Pavlik nuthugger. :hi:
