    Winkys size, jab and peek a boo defense would be a big problem for Floyd, but Floyd has always made the adjustments to any difficult style and has come through. I think Floyd wins a 7-5 type fight.

    You're crazy if you don't think a peak Winky at 154 wouldn't give Floyd serious fits, if not beat him.

    His piston jab alone would've made things difficult for Floyd but add in the much larger size, great defense and counter punching skills and Floyd has his hands full. Size plays a factor when we are talking about two elite fighters. The size difference would've been huge.

    People forgetting how easily he dominated Mosley, Tito and most had him beating Taylor at MW.

    All this talk about size. Wright isn't a physical fighter, and Floyd also has a reach advantage.

    These fighters are nothing alike and Floyd is definitely the best boxer out of all of them.

    Floyd is actually 74. He has munkey arms, hence the philly shell defence success.

    And all of this talk about dominating Mosley lol. Wright barely beat him in the rematch. It could be argued a washed up Mosley won.

    More than possible. But I don’t think that it would have been easy for him. And like I said yesterday, it’s obvious that Floyd was of the same opinion. Otherwise he’d have taken on the fight.

    Oscar gave Floyd hell with the jab that's Winkys best punch and unlike CrackOscar Winky didn't have stamina problems that coupled with his size, great defense and being a southpaw makes him a nightmare for Floyd to deal with. Floyd knew that that's why he stayed the **** away from Wright. Smart move IMO.

    Stamina problems, lol Oskee was famous for pulling out fights later on when he had to.

    Oscar's jab is legendary, no shame in getting bothered by that.

    I think Wright is bad style match up for him especially at 154.

    Hes too big at the weight, fantastic jab would offset Mayweather, his great defensive posture would also leave the counter puncher Mayweather with very little countering opportunities.

    Winky was easily handling Hopkins except for all of the fouls, but somehow Bernard got the decision. Floyd would have got a decision over Winky in a fight he lost.
