I think Calzaghe would be too big, strong and active for Winky, especially without Wrights southpaw advantage he has against most people, Calzaghe's stance is so open that it harldy makes a difference he's a southpaw, or that Wright is a southpaw for that matter. Plus, Joe can box well, when he mixes boxer/puncher, and throws 70-90 punches a round, plus Winky being a former 147, even though he's kinda big, he's way outsized by Joe.

You know the saying mate, Winky couldn't break an egg. I love Winky Wright, he's one of my favourite fighters, but he looks beatable when pushed with activity, I believe Winky beat Taylor, but the judges scored it all wrong, but I also think Taylor could have won it comfortably if he'd put more shots out. Stamina and workrate seem to be weak points in Taylor's make-up.
Taylor was trying to get something going, but he couldn't all he could hit was gloves a lot of times, Winky's defense is absolutely brilliant and against Joe, I think it would be a very close chess match.Quote:

frankly i dont think joe is smart enough...im not even sure he can play chess ^-^ lol
i dont see joe as in the same league as winky wright sorry to the calzaghe fans here but i just wouldnt compare them..
Peace
At this point who knows what the F Joe is thinking. To me it seems someone is filling his head with lofty goals that he just isnt going to be able to reach. He should just take what is right in front of him. (That being a SMW uni fight).Quote:

winky will ruin the hype of joe.c...all joe.c has done is look good against lacy...lacy aint no p4p...joe.c look awful in his last fight...he is nowhere near winkys league...it`ll be a cold day in hell if joe.c brakes winkys defense that's so funny his fans think he will...joe will brake his hands trying to brake winkys defense...then winky will make him look like the fool that joe is...don't put them in the same ring joe will be ruin...joe is way overrated since lacy fight...lacy is a nobody compare to winky...ok joe.c fansss...its the trueth
although our boy didnt put it subtley..lolQuote:

i just dont see where people get the idea that joe is powerful from?
i mean where has joe shown his power against a real solid or ever good fighter? he just showed up lacy and outboxed him.. scored one knockdown at the end because of accumulative punches.. coming by way of a boxing lesson ...
anytime joe has shown power its been against a less then worthy oponent of which im not afraid to say nearly all have been!...
winky has been in with great fighters and ive never seen him hurt , ive seen him knocked down five times in a fight earlier in his career and each time he got up and had a head clear as day and he cracked on to loose on points...
other losses were screwjobs...
.... the two just dont compare im afraid
The fight tape would be a good one for student boxers. On one side you have defence and on the other you have offence. Although I am a fan of a better offence, defence usually prevails.
I've helf off on me opinion here on this one for a bit...but here's my call.
While I am a fan of both fighters...I'm a bigger fan of Wright.
That being said...I don't think that Wright could stand up to Joe's accumulative power. Wright's defense is tip top...but Joe's output is often amazing...not to mention his accuracy.
I really really don't believe in all this weight jumping siht.
Certain fighters are made for their weights. They lose certain things when they climb.
Even though I think that Wright defeated Taylor in their first fight...there were a lot of shots from Tayor that shook Wright. Calzaghe, IWO, hits as hard if not harder than Taylor. He's also more accurate & throws more.
Tuff call for me to make...but I'd go with joe on this one.
JC for me,because although Wright has the awesome defence,JC is not Tito and won't stop throwing and sooner or later he'll get through coupled with the thinking that Wright could not hurt JC. Winky may start of well but I see Calazghe totally overwhelming him towards the end.Look at Calazghe when he does have to deal with the threat of power(from Lacy,destroyed him),so what kind of respect will he show when there is nothing big expected to come back?! I just don't see how Winky could win.
