I liked Ike too. I thought the Forrest decision was bullshit (obviously), of ourse my man Winky bested him......but its Winky. He beats almost everyone. I still think he would be a top ten his division.

Winky was just too for Ike. Ike moving up in weight vs a guy who fought his last fight at heavyweight just wasnt strong enough and his power had no impact just like when Tito fought Jones. The knockdowns were bogus though .

Wright has a decent jab himself but I think he met someone with a superior jab in Ike. It didnt show that night but if it were Winky boiling down to welter instead of the other way round. I think Ikes speed would have told. Duno if he would have won but it would have been competetive.
