Wright's skills v pure power, you got to go with the skill, but I have a feeling he could get ko'd too..Cant call it lol
Jackson for 1 reason. He didn't need to hit you on the chin to spark you. I picked Duran because he was slippery and rarely blocked punches with a high guard. A winky style high guard means you have to give up your body and your temple/ top of the head area to some extent and Jackson has knocked out several guys who had their hands up and Jackson just caught a piece of their forehead and it was enough. Winky would stand in front of him thinking his guard would be enough(and it would be for anyone except Jackson) to protect him and would get hurt badly
Winky could put on a boxing master class here ,out pointing Jackson .But Jackson dangerous as ever ,Wright could find him self looking at the stars. But Ill go with Winky unanimous 12
I will take Jackson. Wright may be wily enough to not get knocked out, but, it isn't as if Jackson can't box. Jackson would not be fearful of Wright's power and would keep hammering away. He has very fast hands. Faster than Wright. He would keep hammering away whether he gets the knockout or not. It would probably look a lot like Jackson's fight against Thomas Tate. Jackson's boxing ability gets very short changed lately. Ignoring his game changing power (which is admittedly hard to ignore), Jackson was by no means a bad boxer. He is far superior to most of the alphabet champions over the last 10-15 years at middleweight. Yes, he occasionally got caught. But, that wasn't because he couldn't box. It was because he always took chances going for the knockout. With The Hawk, it was never safety first. It was always "kill or be killed." Boxing would probably be much more popular these days if more boxers had that attitude. Even the hard punching GGG seemed to fight more cautiously over the last few years as his competition got better. And, it cost him the decision against Canelo.... Twice.
You make a logical argument for Jackson. However, Winky’s arm to target ratio makes his defense d@mn near impenetrable. As long as Winky doesn’t get caught while he’s punching, I think he cruises to a wide UD. I’d like to see Jackson vs Hurd, just to see how tough Hurd’s chin really is. I’d also like to see Jackson in with Jermell, just to hear the post-fight excuses from the fighter who would forever be known as “Woozy Twin.”
You could be right. Against Tito, Winky won by 11 x’s 2 and 13 by the 3rd judge. I know Winky is not a power puncher by any stretch of the imagination. But against Tito his defense was constantly on point, and his counters had just enough pop to make Tito wary and fatigued of throwing. I see a very similar outcome here.
