Winky's one of the greatest fighters of this generation. His draw against Taylor was bull****. what its ok for everyone to ***** about the cards in the Pavlik fight or in the Hopkins fights or the Spinks fight....but Winky can't. Hell, Winky even won the 12th round and he got so much criticism for how he fought in that one. He can ***** about that fight all he wants. It was for the MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP and he got shafted.
Its a guarantee he will whine about losses, and the fact that no one will fight him because he prices himself out of most fights.
First off, i made this post as a joke because Wright is one of my fav fighters. But Wright was not robbed in the Taylor fight. It was a super competitive fight where so many of the rounds were very hard to call. I think a draw was fair although if anyone were to get the decision, i felt should've been Wright moreso than Taylor. But i had no problem with the draw. In no way was it a robbery or injustice.
His reaction in the Hopkins fight after the decision was announced was hilarious. I think it's in his DNA to whine anytime a decision doesn't go his way because he had to know he got a ass whooping in that one. So it's more of an instinctive thing rather than him whining. :happy
I wasn't personally attacking you man :good Wright gets way too much criticism in general though. The reason he bitches so much when hes on the wrong side of decisions is because he really has to do so much more then some others in order to get those opportunities. He came up the hard way. He has really beaten, or at least came very close to beaten every elite fighter he has ever faced and still he can't sell out a high-school gym. Thats the way it is. But imagine being in his position you know. I honestly thought he won the Taylor fight clear cut. :good
This alone is one of his biggest problems. On top of the fact that's he's a hell of a fighter - no one wants to fight him, mainly because of the lack of drawing power he has or doesn't have for that matter.
It seems to be true that Wright consistantly gets the short end whenever a fight is close. But he flat out turned down a rematch with Taylor, so his cries sound a bit hollow. I would have picked Winky in a rematch with Jermain, so it seems odd that I have more confidence in Wright than he had for himself.
