    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.
    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.

    He was scheduled to fight Matthew Macklin a while back, before the Sturm fight. He pulled out though because of a hand injury in sparring. Said at the time that he wasnt finished yet.

    After the Hopkins loss he didn't want to fight anymore he was out for 2 years after that loss before losing to Paul Williams and being out for another 2 years Hopkins ruined him! he was one of my favourites.

    The strange thing is I think he was out a long time fixing his teeth and then when he eventually did comeback he was past it. Strange for a boxer to take time out to fix up some relatively cosmetic dentistry. Now he is just old. I can't see him being back at the top.
