    Prime PW him beats him due to styles, Mayweather beats him, Pac at 150 or below beats him, Sergio Martinez beats him at 154

    My bad, I forgot to include Pwill, but I don't think may and pac would beat him.

    He hasn't boxed anyone as good as Mayweather but he obviously has a big size advantage. Forrest/DLH would be close interesting fights. Pacquaio he's be way too big and defensively sound for. Martinez is quicker but Winky more technically solid with a better jab. Mosley and Tito he beat, he'd always beat them imo. Margo and Cotto get skilled and I can't think of anyone else. Williams maybe all wrong for him with his workrate, speed and size though, but let's be honest that wasn't near to a prime Winky in there. Alvarez may go onto be amazing, so I'd withhold judgement on him

    BTW Wright beat Taylor and Vargas

    he toys with wiliiams

    williams was and is overrated, i was saying it long before it was proven.he throws such wide shots,presents almost no danger with his jab considering his size and has no ring iq

    I don't see Williams beating Winky in his prime. Lets not forget that he was old, coming off of a long layoff (i think a few years by that point) and had no legs. Compare this Wright to the version that fought Mosley and Vargas, and you'd see a pretty big difference. Williams volume would keep him in the fight, but i think that would ultimately be his downfall. Wright in his prime wouldn't be moving a lot, but just enough to be effective and the counters would be non stop. You need more than volume to beat a skilled technician like Winky in his peak and Williams is very hittable.

    Pretty much agree. With the only fighters I see that give him a fight is PBF who I would still pick Winky to win and Paul Williams who would always be a bad matchup for Winky.

    Prime Margarito vs Winky would be an interesting fight, again due to the volume of punches that Margo would throw.

    There's a reason Oscar never fought Winky Wright.
    Winky is one of the GOAT when it comes to high risk/low reward fights

    No it wouldn't be it would be a shut out clinic by Wright. Winky would toy with Margo controlling him with his ATG jab and setting him up for his bigger shots. Margo isn't fast enough, powerful enough or long enough to trouble Wright. Margo wouldn't win a single round against Wright.

    I'd pick Winky over anyone from 2000 to now. Too big, too good. A fat Winky almost beat Hopkins. And in many eyes beat Taylor.
