    Default Winky at Supermiddle...

    How would Winky fair against Kessler, Bute, and company? Does that division have too much power for him? He seems to be a particularly skilled boxer with no power...

    His next fight is at 164, then plans to cut back to 160... He opened his career at Welterweight and looked a little to chubby and lethargic at 175 against Hopkins.. I personally would like to see him fight Kessler at 168, but I think Winky is better suited at Middle where he can move and have the stamina and deal with the physicality seeing he is a defense 1st fighter who absorbs a lot of punches to the shoulders and forearms

    Winkys at the back end of his career now and shouldnt be attempting to fight at 160 if you ask me.

    Mid 30s and going down almost a stone in weight for your next fight is not a good move.

    Winky should stay at 170+ for his final run in the business and be looking at fighting trinidad, dawson and co
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    Fair enough. Based on how he looked versus Nard, I figured 168 might be a better fit for him.

    I just dont honestly see another world title in him to be honest.

    Most of the old 154/160 fighters move up to 175 at the back end of their careers as its much easier to make the weight and fighting eachother earn themselves decent paydays.

    Yeah, I think his lack of power would keep him from being successful at this weight. Maybe not. That's why they fight 'em.

    But I agree, no world titles to be sure.

    Are you friggin serious The guys you mentioned with the exception of Tito and Wright all have been at 175 for numerous years with the exception of Bhop who admitted being a lightheavy all along who cut to mke 160..

    So your saying he should stay a chubby fighter who will lose stamina down the stretch only cause he is getting old That is as flawed a logic I have ever heard

    You know Winky started at Welterweight right and so did Tito.. They both looked terribly out of shape at 170 but yea all fighters at championship level do that
