    bumping six or seven at a time just ****s up the front page.Besides it's an ovious troll schtick alias that hardly ever does anything else, he probably just randomly jumps to a page and bumps a few of the first threads there with obligatory two line replies.

    Agreed - he was an OK southpaw technician, but nothing special IMO.

    Could the same be said about Winky?

    I hardly think so. Winky already had the distinction of being one of the best and most difficult defensive technicians on the planet even before facing Tito, and was also coming off back-to-back wins over another "superstar" and future HOFer in Mosley. He's also a likely future HOFer himself.

    By contrast, Minter was never known for doing anything spectacularly, and although he probably had a bit more pop on his punches than Winky, he was not any great defensive fighter and bled like the Russian royal family.
