Will it be Kessler vs. Winky Wright in March?

[Davros?]

Winky seriously needs a warm up fight to get rid of the ring rust, it would be a mistake imo to go straight into a fight with Kessler but even so it would be an intresting match up.

Right now, Kessler by decision. It's entirely possible that it's Winky because I read he's going straight to a top opponent at 160-168 in March so it definitely could be Kessler.

I cannot believe that Winky wants a top guy after such a long lay-off. It seems like an ill-advised move. Anyways he'll show some big cojones if he takes on Kessler without a tune-up.

So you are saying the only good Asian fighter is Pacquiao? One of the best young fighters in the world is Nonito Donaire. It proves you are not a real boxing fan, if you've never heard of him! Then there's Nietes, Sakata, Hasagawa, Penalosa, Korobi, etc. who all have world titles. If you "prefer the athleticism generally displayed by those in the lighter weight classes" why haven't you heard of these boxers?

And if you think Pacman is the only good Asian boxer, then you couldn't have watched the Olympics this year!

Racism is defined as the belief that one race is superior to others. mt102879, you are clearly a racist, because you consider one race to have "superior athleticism" as Max Kellerman puts it. I believe boxing ability has to do with training, desire to succeed, dedication, heart, learned skills, etc. and that race has nothing to do with it.

Dude, I live in the US. I've only seen one Donaire fight where he KO'ed Vic (who is another non-black fighter I like). The rest of the guys I've never even seen fight. Maybe I saw Penalosa on an undercard once. At any rate they aren't big names on a worldwide scale and probably for good reason. How often do you see posts about these guys on here?

I don't keep track of amateur boxing. I can't even recall 3 names off of the US team from the Olympics let alone fighters from other countries. Yes, there were some good fighters from Asian countries but it's kind of hard to be a fan of someone who you'll probably never see fight again.

I can't help but laugh when people break out the websters definition of racism but that's another topic. First, please give a source where Max Kellerman has said that black people are athletically superior. Second, your accusing me of something you have no proof of. I stated that I do prefer athletic boxers and said Pacman was in my top 5, yet someone how that translated into "I only like athletic black fighters". Third, your making a hypocrite of yourself. You like to downplay the skill of black fighters by constantly claiming a "reach advantage" is the key to their success.

Class is permanent. Winky does not need a tune up. Rather just, a good training camp and some quality sparring.

Im favouring Winky to win this one. But he should have the same problem Mundine had against Kessler. AKA he may have more skills then Kessler, But Kesslers raw power should get the Dane the win.

P.S Did you guys know BatTheMan Is Morgan Palle?

That's the word right now, since he injured his hand he doesn't want to fight a tuneup then wait around a couple of more months for a big fight, he wants to jump right back in there, whether it's a smart move, we'll find out in March.

So is this fight actually happening then, or is it still just a rumour at the moment?

[Silencers]

Just a rumor.
