I don't know if he would stop Winky but I agree,JC has the style to beat Winky,the speed,awesomely fast hands,and power. JC looks average against average opponents,I think he is energised by the big fights. Whether anyone likes it or not,ALOT of people thought Jeff Lacy would hurt JC,would expose this "over rated " boxer,yet JC put on one of the finest boxing performances I have ever seen. He just needs to ride the momentum more,which,for whatever reason is not happening but he needs to get B Hop,JT,Winky,one of these guys in the ring and make another statement otherwise,the critics will remain. He beats all 3 imo,and I am not his biggest fan at all,I just appreciate awesome boxing skills when I see them and hehas them. That fight against Lacy was the complete boxing performance imo,showing offence AND (often forgotten by viewers) defence. He was elusive. Lacy didnt' land anything noteworthy.1006 punches? WTF!!!! 7 hit combos in round 10?!?!Awesome!
El Gamo , truly you are the king of men !!

I've never seen Wright turn in a performence like that against anyone he is effective technically correct but Joe is an another leauge alltogether !!

People forget that Lacy was RED HOT but now he is a complete shadow of the man that stepped into the ring !!

It was a great performence it had everything you could want from an offensive masterclass and as El Gamo rightly points out great defence .

Joe was focused that night and for the 1st 6 rounds his balance was spot on he threw his punches without leaning over as sometimes does when he is'int focused ala Mittchell.

Wright is a good fighter but simply put not even on the same page as Joe in any department , temprement, skill , speed , effective aggression and self belief.

Joes greatest attribute is his utter self belief i use to think he was cocky but since i met him i just came to realise he is incredibly self confident and just believes ij himself .

He is the Jewel of British sport and in my opinion the best fighter in the world .

LMAO,thanks bro! I say tit how I see it regardless of whether I like the fighter or not. I'm more of a Winky fan than a JC fan but Winkys style can only get him so far as he moves up in weight and JC is under rated in the strenght department,he managed to tie Lacy up easily in their fight and Jeff is a monster!

Winky has great great defence, but can he defend for 1000 punches and 12 rounds while still doing enough to win?

unlikely I reckon
Well said. And those pnches have power whereas Winky does not,imo have the power to keep JC off.

Also take into consideration the trouble Winky had dealing with Soliman's punch output. Then add Calzaghe's size, speed and power advantage. Style wise its a bad fight for Winky and Calzaghe is probably too big for Winky anyway.
