winky defo..
i think in his prime at LMW he was damm near unbeatable..
Abraham is probably a bit bigger, and may not yet have reached his peak yet. It'll be easier to make a judgement after the super six is finished. As of now Wright has the better resume but he may not have by the time AA is finished.
abraham's in his prime right now.
Right, but we've yet to see what he can do against different styles. His Super-Six results will tell us where he ranks in relation to Winky, who I rate higher right now, but if Abraham obliterates everyone in the field than he's the better fighter.Quote:

Too early to say
Winky beat better fighters than AA has ever been in with, once abraham has been in with that level of opponent i`ll be able to make an accurate assesment!
I think Wright was a much better all around fighter,truer defensively and for the absolute longest very under appreciated.Abraham still has some time,can very well bank career peak on super 6 result.Its been hacked to death...but still had Wright besting Vargas myself.
Wright clearly.
As of now Winky for sure.

But AA is just now beggining to mix it with the big boys, kind of hard to compare a guy at the end of his career to a guy who`s just starting to reach his peek!!!
well he said who WAS better. and style wise i see winky as a better fighter than AA.Quote:

It's impossible to say until both finish their careers (though Winky is just about done).
Right now it's Wright by a wide margin.
I don't really like Arthur Abraham's fighting style, he's basically defensive for 2:30 minutes of a round. Then he explodes with wild punches, im not saying he isn't good or tough. But come on Winky Wright is way better, his defense is better, simply because he could be active and still defend great.
He could be a great boxer with movement, which he showed in his early career. He has a great jab something Arthur Abraham is missing, plus Winky Wright punches with much better technique, his punches at times seemed liked lazers. Arthur Abraham would of got totally outboxed by Winky Wright.
i agree with you ICB. arthur abraham is as basic as they come.Quote:

Winky Hands Down. I Dont Think Abrahams Power Can Hurt Winky With Winkys Great Defense. And Winky Can Out Box Abraham.
Winky has better skill IMO. AA is just stronger.
AA has shown that his style is also 100% effective. So i can't comment.
Maybe if Paul Williams fights AA then i'll have better grounds on which to draw a conclusion.
Winky was at his best at light middle. AA is deceptively good, he looks poor but has the winky defence and can punch. AA will not win the super 6 tournament.
