Winky Wright Moving To Top Rank , Possible Future Pavlik Opponent

BoxingScene.com was informed that former undisputed junior middleweight champion Winky Wright is close to finalizing a promotional agreement with Top Rank. Wright is parting ways with Golden Boy Promotions. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum is laying out a plan for Wright to be in position for a possible meeting with WBO/WBC middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik by the end of the year.

Wright's first bout as a Top Rank fighter may come in a form of a headline bout on one of the upcoming "Top Rank Live" events that are televised on Fox Sports. If everything goes as planned, Wright would then appear on the Miguel Cotto-Yuri Foreman undercard on June 12 in New York's Madison Square Garden. The third fight of the year could come against Pavlik.

"I've spoken with Winky about having him appear on one of our Fox shows. If everything goes well, then we'll bring him back on the Cotto-Foreman show in New York. And if everything goes well in Kelly Pavlik's fight with Sergio Martinez, then we might see Wright fight Pavlik at the end of the year," Arum told BoxingScene.com.

+1. If Wink has been staying in shape and isn't completely rusty he wins a decision over Pavlik

If Winky gives Pavlik any problems Pavlik is in alot of fucking trouble

Winky looked like dog shit verse Hopkins damn near 3 years ago and shot as Cleveland Williams vs Paul WIlliams

Obviously Wink-Pavlik wouldn't be as one sided as Hop-Pav but Kelly has shown me nothing to make me think he can beat a smart, defensive fighter. He's too one dimensional. We all saw what happened the last time Winky fought a one dimensional fighter...it ended with Trinidad getting his ass completely beat down. Its been such a layoff for Wink over the last few years though, who knows if he still has it

The Winky Wright that beat Trinidad is gone forever

he is shot know

Hopkins has more boxing technique in his pinky than Pavlik has in his entire body.

Pavlik isn't a windmill fighter like Williams with a infinite gas tank , all he does is double up the jab and throw power shots.
