    Agreed but I think Graham as well as Kalambay presented other stylistical problems for McCallum that Winky wouldn't.

    Wright was never truly beaten decisively except at the beginning of his career against Vasquez and at the very end against Williams so you have a point there.

    Vargas, Simon and Taylor weren't as classy as McCallum was though in my opinion. Even people like Soliman, Candelo and Hernandez were able to give Wright trouble by getting through and around his guard.

    Beat me to it.

    Several of those guys were probably more similar to Mike stylistically (though inferior) then Winky was to Graham or Kalambay.

    Winky wouldnt get beaten up IMO...but he would get clearly beaten.

    Winky made good fighters look ****...but at times not so good fighters made Winky himself look ****.
