Thread: Winky challenges Pavlik to June 7th showdown

Here is what Winky said about Pavlik "If Pavlik fights me his 0 goes and iam the new middleweight champion come june" Full article on BOXINGTALK

Would be intresting to see how Pavlik would deal with such a defensive fighter he was getting fustrated when he was'nt landing on Taylor and Wright will be much harder to catch with a clean shot.

Winky is actually thinking about fighting again? Took his time.

Pavlik outworks him over 12. Winky cannot keep up the workrate and though he will block a lot, some of them will indeed land clean.

Very very hard to call if this happens. I'd go with youth, but 3 years ago I would have gone Winky by a jab and block masterclass.

....and by that I mean the Pavlick of today verus the Winky of 3 years ago

Winky....well I just can't see him being able to dissuade Pavlik from hopping combinations of his head....He doesn't have the power or the speed and he can ask Zeretuche, Taylor and Miranda...standing in front of Pavlik is NOT the way to go.

Ugh...I hate those darn locked articles.

Here are more quotes from the story:

"I think it's a great fight for the fans. I throw a lot of punches and he throws a lot of punches. He's supposed to be this big puncher and the best middleweight in a long time. Let's see what happens when the two of us meet in the middle of the ring."

"I'm not going to be the reason this fight doesn't happen. It'll either be Kelly Pavlik or Bob Arum."

Here's the whole story...

WRIGHT COMES OUT OF SHELL TO CHALLENGE PAVLIK

I think it's a good name to have on Pavlik's resume, but as far as exciting fights are concerned, this one just doesn't do it for me. I'd almost rather watch Pavlik blast out a tune-up than watch Stinky Winky fight. LOL.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!! Make the damn fight. Winky for a middleweight title against Pavlik. Please let this happen!

Yes it is the best middleweight fight out there. I think Winky is too old for the younger, fresher Pavlik. Noticed that when he fought Taylor, Winky and Roy Jones Jnr were in the crowd.

I give Wright an excellent chance of winning if this fight comes off

Hmm not so sure on this one VD , i think Pavlik is to big for Winky at this advanced stage of his career. But hey hes proved us wrong before.

although i feel winky should earn a title shot he would be a good fight that i feel pavlik would win

He earned his shot by drawing with Taylor, the rest who have held titles have just fought poor opposition.

Pavlik should of never taken a fight with Winky becuz now he will get his first L and be forgotten like the rest of the great white Hope's(LESS)

The Winky that fought JT would have a pretty good chance against Pavlik, but I think that version of Winky has come and gone. At this point, I don't think Winky's skil can overcome his physical disadvantages.

Of course got to bring in the color issue don't ya.Well I think Pavlik will destroy Winky's black ass all the way back to Saint Petersburg FL.After that it will be another Florida resident in Roy Jones,Then for fun throw Jeff Lacy in there bygolly another Florida resident to be sent home packing.Any way I've got a flight to catch to Florida so I'll talk to you guys later. See Ya
