He did at least flat out refuse to fight Kessler this spring, saying 'what has he ever done to deserve that?', a fight HBO was interested in setting up.

Never made it to the negotiation stage, so dunno if a lot of money could have made Winky change his mind. Does IMO show though that at least Winky rates himself higher (or more valuable) that the networks do.

Winky has no business fighting Kessler a very big 168 lber, he should have never strayed above middleweight but since it was Hopkins he did.

When a fighter demands a lot of money to fight, has a tough style for opponents, and isn't a huge draw, that means he's going to have a hard time finding a fight.

Look first off i do not like Winky i dont like his style or way he attacks when he loses. I for one thought Vargas won the fight by a round think ice had it the same way so i consider that a lose. The Taylor fight was close and the champion got the decsion. To be honest with you i dont care if he fights again and if he fights Pavlik i hope he takes a beating.
