    How good was he in his prime?

    Where do you rate him amongst his era in his weightclass?

    How does he fare against the greats at his weight?

    His best performance was?

    Did he fulfil his potential or not?

    Was you a fan of him or not?

    This should be good. As im a fan of winky wright! Top 5, 154lber. He beats Julian jackson, i think he would beat terry norris, and oscar dela hoya. he made big punchers look bad, but he had difficult fights against boxers. like harry simon, taylor and hopkins although the second 2 were bigger men.

    One of the best fighters of the last 20 years,would be a tough night for any fighter in or around his weight class in history,best performance was when he spanked Tito,I think he's a hall of fame fighter...

    Winky was an excellent boxer/fighter. He used his brains during a fight to see his opponents weaknesses, then exploit those weaknesses to his advantage. Winky had excellent defensive skills and only age beat him. Winky was robbed in a couple of his fights by the judges.

    Very very good fighter if not great. He was a tough fight for anyone when on top of his game and his style was and would be a nightmare for many greats just ask Trinidad and Mosley about that.
