ooma and spinks were'nt easy, get real just because he did not beat them easy does not mean they were not suppost to be.
Winky is no doubt the #1 MW contender, but he doesnt want this fight, plain and simple. I love Winky, hes a great fighter, a future HOF'er, and thought he beat Taylor, so in my minds he the man to beat at MW. If theres anything i know bout Winky is that hes a loud mouth and if he really wanted Pavlik, he would have no doubt let us know. All Ive heard from Winky is that he wants money now, and would love to chase the dollar signs instead of the hard work that it takes to be at the top of a division. He wants the most money and Pavlik is not a proven money maker (yet), so from Winky's end i dont see him fighting Pavlik (at least anytime soon). On the other hand i cant see how Winky can beat Pavlik. Pavlik would wear Winky down, and see Pavlik winning a lopsided 117-111 UD. What Winky really wants is money, Pavlik present the most risk of Winky gettin his $$$, and if Pavlik beats him, he would lose alotta leverage that Winky has worked for his whole career to get. As a fight fan i want this fight to happen, Winky is a great fighter and Pavlik has me sold but is still very young at 25, meaning that he has to pick up where great MW champions do by fighting the best and most deserving fighters.
Pavlik/Wright is a very good mach up. It may in fact it might be the best match up at 160. However I'm not sure what Wright has done to deserve a shot at Pavlik? Draw with Taylor? Beat Quartey? Lose to Hopkins?
In a certain sense, he deserves a shot at a title he almost won and some say he should have won... But we all know he's tryin to earn a good payday and get back to the spotlight after the Hopkins fight. It will most probably happen since Duddy pulled out of his fight, Lorenzo is to fight AA and AA is not to meet KP as yet.
Winky might be the best fight at 160. I say Winky should be allowed to get his whooping. Wright won't beat Pavlik. Pavlik is bigger and better.
I've posted the link in numerous threads now. Joe Calzaghe doesn't think either of the other belt holders will agree to fight Pavlik. And why should Abraham fight Pavlik. IBF doesn't even RANK Pavlik! Hell, they'd rather leave the top two spots open and claim there is no one even worthy of naming? Someone please explain to me how this ranking thing works?
