RJJ used to be Winky's promoter. Could have an interesting story leading up to the fight. Overall I think it would be a good fight. Winky doesn't have one punch ko power so it would be competetive.
i think jones would win being that he is faster and stronger and winky isnt offensive enough to win
i would'nt walk across the street to watch those overated bottle jobs.
Why doesn't Winky Wright demand Joe Calzaghe ?
Answers :
because he's a natural 147/154 pounder. why does calzaghe demand bika? Answers:Quote:

Roy ain't knocking anybody out, ever again. I don't care how small his opponent may be. When are people gonna learn that the Roy who dominated boxing in the 90s is dead?
I wouldn't be too quick to count winky out so soon, I give him a good chance of winning, especially as the underdog, he has suprised us a few times now.
agreed. he got KO'd twice, left for awhile, came back, didn't even try to win and was thoroughly dominated by antonio tarver, and then left again for awhile. if it ended there, no one would be talking about him dominating a top 2 p4p fighter with his speed, power and technique in his next fight.Quote:

A prime RJJ was beautiful to watch, but it's been years since those days. I would root for the guy in any fight still, but I'd root much harder for permanent retirement. He's been a HOF shoe-in for almost a decade already.

Winky And jones are not overated.Look at there past fights.Quote:

I think with the natural weight advantage I'd have to go for Roy by KO. I thought winky to be far too clever to even think about fighting an over-the-hill Roy Jones. The pay-day would be the only logical reason for it happening.

back to topic im not sure about the fight.... one roy is asking for alot to fight these days...
two winky certainly has great boxing skills and an awkward southpaw defensive style that can take the very best out of theyr game...
either... winky wins a complete ud
(even though winky fought well against jt! wasnt as defensive or as good as he could be, alot more open and toe to toe)
if he fights like he did last fight i'd say a close ud or sd for roy,
i mean roy is a legend but hes drained and shot since he lost all the wieght and muscle after ruiz, but i think his skill and speed alone might jus win him his last few fights so he can retire on some good wins!!
lol now im talking like the fight is actually going to happen....
also depends what weight the fight is at, because winky doesnt have ko power... but roy certainly wont be any greater at middle super middle or whathavyer. lol
lot of things going for the fight tho!
peace
I think Jones right now would have a hard time with WInky because he was getting hit jabs these last two fights more often than ever before, and WInky is alot faster than either man Jones fought... He keeps throwing the jab I don't see Jones getting alot of breathing room to do his stuff.
ye bro i getcher... thats one of the options i'd thought might happen...Quote:

and asking for alot to fight against fighters that should probably get more at this stage of his career..
i dunno, i hope he jus gets them big, wins em big,
and rides off into the sunset.... like lennox, cept dojnt fight like a boring sh1t!! lol
peace O0
At this moment in time Winky is just too damn smart for Roy and i dont think he will be able to capatalise on his power and size advantage because of Winky's excellant defence.
I agree bro, Wright has always had great fundermentals, Jones never did, just relied on his speed & reflexes. I know Jones would have a big size advantage but he doesn't fight in a way that he could capitalize on it. Plus Wright is a defensive wizard. Jones struggles to get down to 175 so I feel that would also be an advantage for Wright. Call me crazy but if they signed to fight next I'd take Wright over the distance!Quote:
