i cant remember the name of the fighter but there was another southpaw that dropped winky about 4 or 5 times on the way to the final bell. i can see calzaghe being way to big, strong and busy for winky.
One needs to take into account Joe's brittle hands though.
Calzaghe only has an inch in height and an inch of reach on Wright.
I would love to see this fight brilliant offense vs. brilliant defense.
For me this would be a pick'em.
I believe you're right about Joe's brilliant offense and Winky's brilliant defence but the way Winky just covers up when his opponent is firing shots will give Calzaghe too much encouragement. Winky tends to not throw back until his opponent has finished his combination and i just feel Calzaghe would have too much of an output for Winky to gain any sort of control in the fight. Plus i think Calzaghe is a bit too big with him being tight at super middle.
