    Agreed handspeed and being flashy dosent make you a great fighter but if he had his head screwed on right he'd be in alot better position than he is now.

    I agree with Tszyu that although he did well he could have done better if he wasnt out on injuries so much and it would have done him well to rematch Phillips because having an unrematched KO loss hurts your resume.

    I think Winky has a great resume but I will agree that he certainly would have beat DLH or Floyd at 154. If he would just have gotten the Vargas win he would have been on HBO much earlier and gotten bigger fights while he was younger. Mosley deserves respect for fighting him and getting him back on HBO and out of ESPN land.

    I kind of despise Vargas though its not really his fault. I just dont like that Vargas can get KOed by Tito and then land a DLH fight soon after because he is "popular" and HBO likes him while Winky looses a close fight to Vargas that many thought he won and he gets thrown to ESPN for a few years. If Mosley never gave him the shot, he might have never gotten the Tito, Taylor, Hops fights and could have been fighting bums for pennies until retirement.
