All I can say is what an idiot..The same guy who declined a career high payday at a more natural weight class v Jermain Taylor,then goes up in weight and looks horrible v Bernard in a half empty stadium now declines big fights with Kess and AA which could lead to lucrative fights. Heck even if the paydays weren't great,he could beat a top contender and put himselg back in the mix. If I were him,I'd take what I was offered,he's not a big name PPV wise,it's usually the opponent doing the selling.

"Why should I go fight these lesser guys when I know I'm above them?" Wright said.

The words of an arrogant man. He's not "above" anyone at the moment,which is why the big fights are happening around him and not involving him. And I'd take Kessler to beat him.

Listen to this BS from Winky:

"Taylor lost his last fight. All of these fighters lose. But they have opponents who want to fight them again. I have nobody that wants to fight me because they know they're in for a tough fight. They're ducking me, they don't want to fight. That's why I'm left out. They want me to fight Kessler. Why do I need to fight these dudes? I'm at the top. Arthur Abraham and people like that, I have no interest in them. For what?"

Taylor offered Wright a career high payday. Oh and he's fighting Pavlik,to duck Wright?I think not. Calzaghe fighting Kessler to duck Wright?I don't think so.And what is Wright on top of?Last time I checked,he's only 1 place above JT and 1 BELOW AA in ring mag rankings.

I totally agree with Larry Merchant's take on this:

"He (Merchant)feels Wright is overvaluing himself and doesn't think the fighter has done anything as of late to deserve an immediate jump into a big fight. He says that Wright needs to be active and win fights in order to justify his demands."

I used to like Wright alot for his willingness to take on all comers,he needs to remember his place. He may be talented but his style is boring. People only know of Winky as much as we do because of guys like Tito and Mosley giving him a chance. He needs to remember that.If it was not for them,he'd be fightin in South Africa in front of an empty stadium. So do something to justify your claims or get the heck out of here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again,boxing does not needs these old bandicoots ruining it with their high demands and big mouths.
