I guess I'm just saying he stands out that way in a sport that has pressers that are more and more like pro wrestling.Quote:

Agreed, I think Winky is a brilliant boxer, although not always the most exciting to watch ( if you are looking for a brawl) I think he should be a good role-model for up and coming boxers.Quote:

it's hard to want to hurt someone that has been nothing but nice to you....most fighters want to upset their opponent so that their opponents lose focus and don't stick to the game plan.....he also doesn't give his opponents that little "extra" most fighters give out...no I think I'll KO him in 5 or He's washed up... or over the hill/past his prime...no more motivation...Quote:
