    What do you think, who's gonna take it?

    I say Williams workrate will let Winky work like Soliman's, plus Williams is far more accurate than the wild Aussie.
    Plus you should also consider that Wright would not have fought in about 1 1/2, so he would have a lot of ring-rust.

    Williams doesnt do very well versus southpaws.

    I expect wright to be very rusty early on and than punish the punisher.

    We should also take into consideration that Winky doesn't have a lobby anymore (did he ever had one?) and most would want the younger man to win...so a close fight would go to Williams IMO.

    hmm.....cant say this fight interests me, winky's the most boring fight to watchin IMO...and Williams isn't very exciting either.....but atleast williams is choosing to fight an elite fighter, though winky's really getting up there in years....plus when was his last fight?, the Hopkins loss?....not something i'd pay for, but if it's HBO i'll probably catch it....not sure who will win either, winky has a great defense and he's just an overall skilled fighter......but williams has that high work rate and he's the longer fighter, i dont know......give it to williams i guess, but yeah...anybody no if this will be a PPV fight?

    Damn straight. He'll outwork, and possibly hurt that money-grubbing premadonna. Williams at least gets a good MW debut out of it all.

    Williams takes it.

    No southpaw advantage for Wright, against a bigger, younger, more active opponent.

    Wright will probably hold his own enough to go the distance, but Williams takes a clear victory.

    MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW GUARD! :happy

    Williams:

    6'2" Height
    82" Reach
    160+ Fight weight

    Wright:

    5'10"
    72" Reach
    154-160 Fight weight


    Sure looks smaller to me!
