    Winky is too big for Mayweather, if he didnt stop him, he would UD him.

    Now, if they weighed the same ?..... Mayweather UD Wright.

    :good

    I can not think of a way PBF would beat Winky. I was really impressed when PBF was calling out Winky but then again it did not take long before I realised that he will be asking for a lot of unreasonable concessions..

    :lol: I think he meant it as a compliment as the word "succint" means saying something with little words and getting to the point.

    So generally, people are thinking Winky's size would be too much.

    I though tthe same a the time, but looking at how close Shane made the second match, and taking into account FLoyd was a way better boxer than SSM, FLoyd potshotting his way to a UD doesn't seem that wild a prediction. BUT I think overall, Winkys defense would make it hard for Floyd to land even the ocassional potshot. PBF's shoulder roll works better as defense against a right cross as well, so I see Winkys right jab finding a home over FLoyds shoulder a fair bit.

    Both guys would have lost a lot of footspeed by this time, FLoyd being up at this weight and WInky getting into his mid 30's. Winky UD12.

    Shane made it close because of his tremendous workrate and ability to fight inside, both of which are Floyd's weaker areas. Floyd would not be able to potshot because Winky would land his jab at will and would not have to worry about return fire. It's just a huge mismatch considering the vast natural size disparity.

    I've always thought that this would be the toughest fight out there for Floyd. If it's at 154, Winky UD.

    I think if it is at 147 Floyd may pull it out.

    Winky would have been simply too big, and able to pump his Southpaw jab from the outside. It's not "inconceivable" that Floyd could win, but Winky would be the heavy favourite.

    If its at 147, it would be Pac vs DLH all over again.
