Has Winky Wright Retired? Future HOF Candidate?

He's a definite hall of famer. That goes without question.... don't know if he's retired or not. I ****ing hope he is.

And he'd also mop the floor with everyone you've mentioned. A silly question really. He's too damn big for any of those guys.

 

According to boxrec he has retired. He is definite HOF, one of my favourite all time fighters for that matter.

 

HOF? yes for sure. the tougher question for me is where is rates at 154...if you had a top 5 of norris, mccallum, jackson, wright and hearns, where does winky go?

 

Definity HoF. He beats all of them. Too big, too busy, too good defensivly.

 

One of my all time faves ! tactically always spot on

 

Ronald was as good as Floyd fans think their hero is... 100% HOF imo!

 

It's hard to guarantee that he would beat Floyd, but he would give him hell with his incessant jabbing, and turtle shell. He beats all the others easily. Definite HOF.

 

W over Trinidad, Mosley (both in a down slope in their careers)
L to Vargas, Taylor, Williams, Vazquez (2 were close, no robberies)

this is what passes for a "definite" hall of famer? Not saying he doesnt deserve it, but he's no lock.

 

he is HOF material had he got the nod vs Taylor which I thought he really deserved and the nod vs Vargas which you could have made a case for he is rock solid

When the Floyd fight was put forth a few years ago I thought no way Winky is too big too tall and would jab the hell out of him and May wouldnt be able to get through the guard

I think he would tear Manny apart too

Cotto may be the best fight cause Cotto is strong enough to bully him and try to use rough house tactics to blast through the guard

Winky dominated other very good fighters like Moseley and Trinidad and Quartey

 

One of the best 154 pound fighters. Sure why not

 

Him being HOF is not even in question

 

WTF? The Vargas loss is disputed.
Taylor was a draw not a loss and one where most thought he won. He lost to Hopkins above his best weight and beeing past his prime. Against Williams he was even more past his best. And against Vazquez ... it was his first fight over 12 rounds.
Throw in him unifying the 154 division. He certainly is HoF worthy.

 

Winky's biggest mistake of his career was not taking the immediate rematch with Taylor.

He is a definite HOFer, he is one of the best H2H fighters I've ever seen. In his prime, he would've without a doubt beaten those guys you mentioned at 154lbs.
