    Winky may not be favored but make no mistake about it, Winky is the most skilled fighter Williams has ever had to face and it's by a significant margin too. So if Williams is outskilled by Winky it's not going to be of any great shot. Look at how much Quintana and even Sharmba Mitchell were able to catch Williams with their left hands, Quintana almost at will.

    Williams has never faceed anything like Winky's jab either and I'm guessing if Paul is in range then Winky is going to be able to get it over Williams' low guard. This is the next in the line of Shane and B Hop watch. Williams is a great fighter who's really turned into something but he didn't have a great amateur background and he's been improving but he's still really raw and KOing Carlos Quintana in one round didn't mean that was automatically fixed. Against Phillips he looked better but Winky is better then anyone he's ever faced.

    I'm very much looking forward to this I hope Winky is in shape. Bernard mauled him but he looked flatfooted and bothered by the cut. I hope his legs aren't going, I don't think so I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt that he's not going to be shot overnight.

    Props to Williams as he cetainly seems to be trying to gets the best fights available!

    Its about time Wright got back in the ring again & its a fight that he can win if the layoff & rust have not effected him too much.

    A win over Williams will propal Wright back to the top & into the limelight & a win for Williams further strengthens his position as one of the best fighters today.

    There is so much on the line here for both guys that I hope it spills over come fight time & we as fans get an excellent fight!

    Williams output will win him this fight, I don't think Winkys power will hurt Paul, he has shown some good whiskers. He will outpoint Winky.

    I still think people aren't give Winky enough credit, he threw like 1000 punches against a much tigher defense, and harder puncher in Quartey, he has one of the best defenses in the game, and Williams has a terrible defense.

    Mosley when he was still thought as undestructible when he fought Winky, WRight beat him in every aspect of the fight, on the inside, on the outside, outboxed him, and outfought him, and outpunched him.

    Winky doesn't have much snap on his punches, but they are moving blows that get your attention.

    I think alot of people here give winky plenty of credit. If winky wasnt on that long ass layoff i would pick him to win but the way paul has been doin he should be more than ready for winky. If paul fights a smart fight which is stay in the middle of the ring and outwork him then he should cruise to a UD but if he lets winky pressure him with those jabs and straights like he did to Taylor then Winky can pull it off.
