    Default What ever happened to Winky Wright?

    Where the hell has he been, I know he was training Dawson for Hopkins but other than that what has he been doing? And can he still be competitive inside the ring with his defense not what it once was and his lack of power and lack of stamina these days?

    he didn't look good against Williams and that was a while back, IMO any top Middleweight would own him, I know he has a small promotion company he might be working with that right now and trying his hand at training

    He could probably still come back and beat Felix Sturm. The middleweight division is incredibly weak. But obviously Martinez would destroy him. I'm pretty sure Winky is just retired for good at this point though.

    it's really not as bad as most think, it's starting to take shape again with Sturm mixing it up more and Macklin getting more exposure, throw in Pirog, Lee, the Silver Spooned prince, and then King Martinez, and you have a couple interesting bouts at 160, IMO Sturm would outbox Winky easily, his defense is just as tight and he has been more active, IMO Winky is done

    Dude is 40, he hasn't had a fight in 2 1/2 years, and hasn't won one in 5.

    Winky Wright must have retired because there is no way he is coming back competitive, he just has not announced it publically yet a bit like Israel Vasquez.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I agree that Winky might still can beat Strum. And maybe the most sensible fight to chase. I would like to see that. But . . . that fight would be a snoooozer. Strum pattern himself after Winky. They almost the same fighter.

    He disappeared behind his own guard.

    A one-sided ass whipping from Paul Williams is what happened to Winky Wright

    He was a great fighter though, beat some top guys, but dear God was he a boring spoiler to watch.
