    PTP needs to fight a boxer with a name to elevate his own. If this fight gets signed I'll be excited for him because Winky would provide him with exactly that.

    Wright needs to fight somebody or just call it a career. Supposed to fight Abraham, supposed to fight Taylor,supposed to fight Kesseler, and now he is supposed to fight Williams.

    the arrogant idiot probably just priced himself out of all those fights by demanding some ridiculous cut and is moving from name fighter to name fighter.
    He hasnt fought in over a year and holds no belt nor has he held a belt since 2006. He is quickly becoming an irrelevant fighter.

    Wright must be the worst businessman in sports. The guy has done serious damage to whatever legacy he may have had by pricing himself out of any fight that was good for him and then claiming he was ducked.

    I don't understand the hate for Winky TBH. He's clearly winding down his career and If he wants to fight once a year then that's his prerogative. He's proven that he's near unbeatable at his weight. Winky v Williams would be a great fight if for nothing more than a passing of the torch, but IMO Winky UD.

    That's true. On the other hand, if he wants to fight zero times a year, as he is currently, then he should just retire officially.

    Sure, but he's not the first guy to fight sporadically. Tszyu fought once in two and a half years before running in Hatton.

    Tszyu wasn't 'fighting sporadically', he was injured.
