Do YOU consider Winky Wright an ATG?

your a boxing fan but you havent seen taylor wright yet?

 

Yes, but I think he'll have to beat Hopkins in order to get the same respect from anyone else.

 

Hopkins fight will weigh a lot on his career but he can all ready be considered one of the best 154 champs.

 

The guy is a great boxer, not so sure about atg yet. But possibly on his way. It may be to late at 35. He could have been , he is a high risk fighter that the big names avoided for a long time til Shane stepped up to the plate. I'd definetly would pick him over any of those big names now, if we could go back.

 

He is already an ATG if you go by the resume criteria.

Americans might try and deny it as he developed into the fighter he is, by fighting in Europe.

Right now, he is past prime and fighting well above his natural weight. I think there will come a point soon where his declines, but what happens thereafter should not be held against him.

 

The Vargas fight was close. No robbery like Holy-Lewis I or Oquendo-Byrd. Vargas-Wright could've gone either way.

Taylor-Wright was another boring close fight. Kid Diamond vs. his last opponent: a REAL robbery.

Wright can be considered a great fighter if he beats Hopkins and maybe someone else. He's already in my Top10 Light Middleweights of all time.

 

I think Winky probably is an ATG and beating Hopkins for me would remove all doubt .

I scored the Taylor fight a draw , so for me that was a good decision .

 

Wright is most certainly in my top10 all time Middleweights, whether thats enough for ATG status is up for debate

 

Top 10 at 154? Yes
Top 10 at 160? No way

 

Agrees :good

 

I understand some people having Taylor ahead by 2 points going into the 12th. Either way, it wasn't a ROBBERY, it was a close decision that you disagree with (me too, actually, but it wasn't a robbery).

Wright not taking 5 million for a rematch leaves a BAD BAD BAD taste in my mouth.

 

Close enough.

 

He ins't HOF yet.
