    Who wins this Fantasy fight at 154?

    Winky Wright who was well knowned for his undestructable defense in my opinion is 1 of the greatest Jr.Middleweights of all time,He dominated the Jr.Middleweight division and unified the titles to become the undisputed champ at 154

    Julian Jackson is well knowned for his inhuman punching power,he is rated 6 of ring magazines 100 greatest punchers of all time,and also a former campion at 154

    Who wins this fight?

    This will def be a close fight no matter who wins in my opinion,call me crazy but I think Winky takes this one....He was just too good at 154,he was at his absolute best and the very peak of his prime

    I actually think Winky wins this two.

    Power is great. Even inhuman power, but even a defense based on blocking can neutralize great offense.

    In a tough fight, Julians only way to win over adversity was bail himself out with a big shot. Winky had to adapt and overcome with heart, will and skill, and I think ultimately that would be the difference.

    Julian wouldn't be able to find chin, and after a few rounds, dominated by Wrights jab, when Winks arms started hurting, he'd find a way to do something else. And Julian, would just keep swinging.

    Jackson had better skills then he is often given credit for. He was quite textbook in his attack, he could throw most shots tight, quick and with power.

    I think he would start very fast out of the blocks and probably rock, even deck Winky from the where the fight goes from there Im not sure.

    If Wright can make it out of this I think he could eek out a decision. But his lack of power and offensive variety is going to see it hard for him to deter Jackson from keeping right on top of him with some serious firepower.

    Winky is the kind of guy I could see just sitting back in his shell spending to long waiting to take the fight back and either gets stopped or loses on points in the process.

    I can see this going either way..But I slightly favor Jackson.

    No he wasn't even remotely "prime", but I can't get Wink's JC Vasquez debacle out of my head for this particular matchup. Shane also buzzed him hard with that "free shot" in their second fight.

    I really think Wink takes this...neutralising Jacksons power by sitting beind his excellent jab.

    Jackson always has a chance with his power, and as someone has already mentioned he has underated boxing skills, but I still fancy Winky.

    What a tough fight to call. Julian is a power puncher and Winky is good defensively. I think Julian was greater in the long run and I think he would connect and knockout out Winky in about 8 rounds and with a left hook. The one punch knockouts which Julian had were not as one punch as it seems. It was like Tommy Hearns. Hearns and Jackson would land power shots to the mid section sort of soften the guy and make him backup, then they would land a clean punch after the guy was backing up and with his hands a little lower. Although the punch Julian landed on Graham was out of the blue and shocking. I think one thing Julian was which not many people say is unpredictable and awkward. He would throw punches from certain angles where you would not expect it.
