just curious to get some views on this: the winky wright which beat mosley v the mayweather jr which beat dlh how would this play out? thoughts? thanks
Hard to say as winky was at his best 3 years ago VS Mosley and Trinidad but looks to have lost his way. Mayweather is getting to the back of his fight game but looks good against Oscar and Hatton. I would think Mayweather wins 3 years ago and today.
Winky is too big, too quick and too accurate with his jab. Would've been a horrible uneventful fight. Now way that Floyd counters a prime Winky, the reach advantage is too big, the defense is too tight and the jab is the key to beat Floyd --> Winky UD. Before anyone jumps on me: I believe based on his size and fight night weights, Floyd is a 140 pounder naturally. So vs. a smaller, LWW Winky I'd say 51-49 in favor of Mayweather. But simply no way that Lil' Floyd can break through the Winky defense at 154 and he's open to the quick accurate jab...
Style wise a very difficult task for Mayweather. Floyd is a master at picking holes in a fighters defense but Winky has such a tight guard and unlike when Hopkins fought Wright doesn't have advantages in height and size. I'd favour Wright to win in a fight which is difficult to score.
Winky lost me when he failed to put away Sam Soliman a few years ago....I agree Winky is a larger fighter but Mayweather has speed, combos and counters and is a good defender.....I still think Mayweather.
floyd would never take the fight. winky would be too big and he aint afraid of exchanging. boring fight tho as floyd would never be the aggressor in this fight. but in all seriousness winky is extremely skilled and to show his size took on taylor and hopkins and more than held his own.
Winky would win. PBF Probably would suffered couple of knock down. He would never take this fight even though Winky fight at 147 pounds.
