    Winky didn’t agree to Floyd’s crippling dehydration clauses and never took the fight. Floyd probably beats a drained Winky and his fans would have amnesia to that detail afterwards. Respect to winky for not taking a fight set up to make him lose.

    Fully hydrated Winky destroys Floyd.

    Winky Wright was a heck of a fighter. He had phenomenal defense but I believe he spent most of his career in higher weight classes than Floyd.

    You are correct that it could have been an interesting fight but it’s really not surprising these 2 never fought.

    Floyd had no business above 147 imo. I think he was actually prime at 135 or 140. When he fought Oscar at 154 I did not think he was the best version of himself.
