Re: James Toney vs Winky Wright at Middleweight Who Wins???
Anyone that has seen the Wright Vargas fight knows that there is more to Wright than just his infallable defense & pin point jab.
Toney's no one trick poney...but neither is Wright.
Personally...I think that James Toney was one of the great middles of our times.
That being said...I think that Wright was/is the greatest middle of our time. He's yet to prove that he's as good of a middle as he was a light...but he did defeat the "great" Trinidad in a shutout, made Mosley look less than spectacular, & also beat Taylor, IWO.
In the end...I honestly believe that the fight would draw out. I don't think either man has the power to knock the other out & I think that Wright's defense & jab negates the majority of Toney's work. Countering Wright is next to impossible as was shown against Soliman.
I would lean towards Wright out of fandom...but truthfully...it's a tuff call because I think that Toney was at his best in the 160-168 range.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
