with mayweathers retirement, there is a vacant slot opposite oscar on september 20th...ricky hatton has rules himself out of contention to face oscar and it would surely be too soon after the marg/cotto fight to fight the winner of that. does that leave the door open for winky wright or would oscar not risk taking such a fight in his penultimate fight?
Winky Wright needs to fight someone, In all honesty I thought dude was retired.. (IMO, he don't deserve the money Shot Vs. Oscar)
Winky might bring alot of ring rust if not given a tune up fight, giving Oscar a good chance at beating him.
Maybe? But I'll go ahead and disagree anyway... Wright is all Wrong for anyone....Get it? All wrong "Right" danmmit! never mind. I hear you tho, Winky is a sneaky ******* that is hard as hell to look good against.
Exactly. His guard and that damn Jab not to mention underrated toughness and you have a disaster in the waiting for Oscar.
DLH will not get anywhere near Winky. I dont believe Fraud is retired fore one second - The Fraud-DLH crappy rematch will still happen. In the off chance it doesnt, look for DLH to go after Segio Mora.
Damn i've always wanted to see them fight.....i hope he compromises and gives him a chance.....only other name is cotto but i dunno if he'll be willing to go through the agony. He won't fight mosley again....or mayorga.....no hatton....i would barf if he even mentions pacquiao. Winky and DLH are both old time veterans and it would be an interesting match IMO.
If Oscar asked Winky to make 150 he would and I believe Oscar would win. Winky would have no energy to train dropping weight to 150...that might be the way to get a another HOF win on the resume for oscar!
Winky would probably need a tune-up first, but providing he's not too ring rusty he should decision De La Hoya.
You guys are missing THE key factor: $$$$. Winky won't provide a big fight. A fight with Tito, Mosley, Mora, etc makes more money sense. Plus, DLH would get his ass kicked against Winky.
Can Tito make 154 though after fighting last at 170? And is Mora really that bigger fight now? Everybody knows he's little more than a temporary champion who beat a shot and/or unfocused Forrest.
