Winky gone crazy?

I'd argue he has a decent fan base these days.

I think Winky also at this juncture of his career offers a big name for another fighter to take on, if Winky could get to 147 there's LOTS of fights out there, but I'm not sure he can.

154 doesn't have the fights he wants, and he isn't going to be as competitive at 160+ against young hungry fighters, but still there's fights at 160 with the likes of Pavlik, Abraham, Duddy, and of course a rematch with Taylor.

Though I think a fight between him and ODLH at 154 would be a big and good fight that would sell well on PPV.

 

Clinic is what he put on Tito....DLH ain't Tito. But you are right.....NOT EXCITING at all. But competitive.

 

At this stage in his career, i don't think DLH can afford too many tune up fights. So he's going to fight top level fighters anyways.

And i disagree that him beating Wright is just another feather in his cap. It would boost his legacy considerably IMO. DLH hasn't done squat in years. To me, he comes across as a guy who has accepted being the lesser man in the ring. He sounded like that against Hopkins (DLH was the smaller guy excuse) and against PBF (DLH was fighting the P4P king). He's contempt with losing.

Why not fight Wright and take another loss against the great "southpaw defensive wizard"?

 

Having a win over Winky would be a nice Feather but DLH legacy is pretty much in tact the way it is...loosing will diminish his legacy more...winning at this point won't do that mcuh more not matter who he fights unless it's a guy like Floyd Mayweather or Bhop. Beating Winky would be a boost but not anything to warrant him taking the risk.

Loosing to Bhop he was the samller guy, but he went out there and tried to beat him...Hope was just bigger stronger and smarter.

With Floyd, DLH didn't accept that he lost b/c he honestly felt he won. He stated that time and time again. IT was a really, really close fight but I think Floyd edged DLH after the 9 round or so when DLH abandoned his Jab almost completely.

DLH right now is not going to take such a HUGE risk that doesn't offer him or his legacy much in return. Yes....having a W over Wink is great, but it won't do much...BHops legacy hasn't shot out of the stratosphere after beating Wink....DLH would be no different. IMO.

 

The desperation to fight DLH is sometimes sickening. For a moment it even makes you forget they are millionaires already.

 

Why shouldnt Winky at least try to make this fight. He knows DLH didnt want nothing to do with him even when they were both at 154. DLH couldve picked either Floyd or Winky and he didnt choose the latter bcuz he knew Floyd might beat him but not knock him out. A few posters are saying that DLH/ Wright wouldnt be that exciting but I'll bet you it would be better than the overhyped DLH/ May Jr fight. At least you know for sure Winky will be pressing the action for 12 rds. However, I dont think Winky can make 147 but just wants to scare DLH from going down there.

 

No, he wants Oscar to show him the money! I for one think it should definately happen, i love Oscar, but know Oscar has been avoiding him, and im glad to hear Winky is willing to go anywhere to fight Oscar. Hes a true warrior.

 

I doubt that, Tito, and Oscar two very diferent styled fighters. Plus Nobody has ever schooled Oscar, he can adapt in fights, Tito cant.

 

Thanx for being open minded. I thought being an Oscar fan you mightve "forgotten" that Winky has been calling out Oscar for years, even when DLH was still with Arum. I can see the fight going down like DLH/Sturm all over again but a little worse bcuz Winky seems to get extra motivated when it comes to DLH.

 

Hey im a fan, but its a dirty little secret that really isnt a secret, if that makes sense. Winky, has more than paid his dues, and if this is true that hes gonna go down to 147 a weight that his never been at professionally specifically to fight Oscar, then Oscar cant deny him any longer.

 

Not to mention if Oscar pulls it out it would be redemption for his losses to Mosley and Tito... He should definately fight a tune-up though, someone tough and somewhat defensive, there are alot of bangers at 147 so i dunno who that would be.

 

Crazy??


****...no!! What would any of the posters here do for 15-20 million??

Starving and trying to hit 47 isnt the worst thing one could do:rofl

 

160 or 154 would be good...no lower than 154 though

 

Some people are saying DLH avoided Winky.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Oscar make him a career high pay offer and Winky said no on the basis that its DLH, he can afford to give him more.

 

:admin when was this?
