    Winky has beaten Legends in their PRIME...

    Winky Wright DOMINATED Suger Shane Mosley in his prime and then had a rematch with Shane and defeated him once again

    Winky Wright also Dominated the Legendary Felix Trinidad winning every round 1 threw 12

    Winky Wright also ended Fernando Vargas and Jermain Taylors undefeated streaks in my opinion

    Winky also was the undisputed Jr.Middleweight champion

    I defenitley considered Wright as a Legend

    Winky is an ATG at 154 of the best I've seen there. A top 100 ATG IMO

    No way a legend. Wright's biggest win was Mosley in terms of legacy imo. But Mosley was never a great jr. Middleweight. Trinidad win wasn't where it needed to be to consider him a legend.

    Lost to vasquez

    lost to Simon

    He lost to Vargas.

    He drew with Taylor but didn't really deserve it imo. That straight right was busting right though his shell and i had never seen him take so much damage up until that point. His eyes was ****ed up.

    Lost to B-hop.

    Lost to P-dub

    exactly:good great 154 pounder, beat a good 154 pounder in mosley, a faded, great welterweight in trinidad, and a variety of solid/decent contenders. his skills and ranking on the p4p list once he hit it big get him into the hall but legend: no way

    Shane fought Raul Marquez to a no-contest, then fought ODLH and won a close descion. I thought he lost tbh Then dropped 2 l's to wink and moved back down

    Why do you consider him a good 154 pounder? I consider him a great WW that was able to move up with limited succes b/c of size.

    all true. i said he was a good 154 pounder as in he certainly wasn't great. out of respect to shane, I think his skills transitioned enough to make him considered "good". his resume at 154 is only adequate

    Not even close.

    "Legend" is a word used too much.

    Tyson is a legend because people are obsessed with him and everything he does. People are fascinated by him to the point that they will suspend disbelief when tall tales are told about this human being.

    Ali is a legend because of the way he transformed the sport and captured public imagination. One of the most recognizable sports figures ever, along with Tyson.

    Who is Winky Wright compared to a legend?
