    OK, Winky's masterclass against Tito at middleweight is his signature win, but of the rest of his res, what do you think was his best win/performance?

    Please vote and discuss.


    Also, what do you think Winky's most exciting fight was?

    Mosley 1.
    His most exciting fight was the Taylor fight IMO. It turned out to be a great fight but before it was announced people said it would be boring. Great back and forth action infact I had Winky winning.

    Accidentally voted the Taylor fight. Misunderstood the question. Mosley I would be my vote as well.

    Taylor on both counts for me; Taylor was the HBO posterboy and much more highly thought of than he is now (he's now underated imo), was very athletic, young and had a size advantage. A bad style matchup up for WInky, especially at this age when he'd become quite static and slow of foot. Basically, Taylor had the speed and reach to win the fight from range against an older man and the power to break through the turtleshell defense, which usually works better against smaller opponents. Wright overcoming these disadv. to make a great afight and arguably win was his best performance, imo.

    Winky Wright was a favorite fighter of mine, back when he used to expose the false P4P superstars out there.

    If he wouldn't have taken the final round off against Taylor where Taylor had only one functional eye, I would vote for that one. Since he didn't close the show, I'll vote Mosley I.

    Well I voted Taylor because the question ask AFTER Trinidad which leaves 4 fights.

    I thought he beat Taylor and he put up a great fight as well. Completely surprising Taylor by being aggresive.


    Although if I had to pick from the list of his best overall performance not after Trinidad. It would be Mosley 1
