    I admit it. I know he is ducking him. But that is expected and accepted now in boxing. It is risk vs reward for them. It is how the sport is structured, it's their livelihoods and I don't blame them for it.

    Are you implying that Winky has complained in the past? That is a lie. :lol:

    Winky's not the only big name...What about Hatton?

    Margarito-Cotto will also be popular.

    You know, i thought his reactions in the Vargas and Taylor fights were legit but when he gave that facial expression in the Hopkins fight, i kind of lost some respect for Winky. But still, i love the guy.

    Look Winky is a big Jr Middleweight he really is a super middle to be honest with you and at this point there is no need for this fight honestly if Oscar is going to risk lossing another fight after the career he has had he may as well take the fight that is going to pay him the most, Floyd has done that his entire career and has gotten a pass from all of his supporters DLH has earned it after all he has fought every big named fighter out there un like Floyd.

    the thing is that these bread crumbs can feed your children, their children and possibly their children for life.

    The "I can't believe the scorecards" reaction which he gave in the Vargas, Taylor, and Hopkins fights. :lol:

    His two fights with Shane were risky, his fight with Trinidad was risky, his fight with Hopkins was risky, his fight with Mayweather was risky, his fight with Whitaker was risky and I can keep going. The reason why he's not interested in Wright is because it will hardly be a huge entertaining fight and that's what he's aiming for as his last fight.

    VERY true, no way in hell I'll pick Margarito(ESPECIALLY) or Cotto over Winky. Then again, too many picked Trinidad over Wright based on his victory over Mayorga so this is hardly shocking.

    Winky 300 thrown - 275 Landed
    Margo 3 thrown - 0 Landed

    Power Punches
    Winky 180 thrown - 150 Landed
    Margo 670 thrown - 40 Landed

    Result: Winky UD 120-108 on all cards :yep

    As I said "Risk vs Reward" :good And that's not why, it has nothing to do with an "entertaining fight", he was just planning on rematching Floyd and their first fight wasn't entertaining at all :deal I also never said he DOESN'T take risky fights, are you aware of how big a fan of Oscar I am :huh They were all worth it for him though...a fight with Winky is way too big a risk for what he would get out of it MAYBE. I still think he might fight him strictly to save his legacy some by beating the guy who beat Tito and Shane.

    I'm pretty sure he knows he can't beat him, the PBF rematch can be understood, the first fight was too close and it proved to him that he DOES have a good chance and it would be a mega-event again. Still though the fight with PBF might have been boring in general but it won't be as boring as a fight with Wright and the fight won't be as big as a fight with Cotto or Mayweather especially with Wright coming off a loss so there is a big difference here. I never said/thought you're not a DLH fan by the way, just discussing.
