So how long will it be before people start claiming Winky was " overrated "??

The extra weight screwed with his balance.

 

I've always said Winky Wright was overrated in one aspect.

Before I get to that, Winky Wright is an AMAZING fighter. He should definitely step back down to MW and see if he can get the title there. MW suited Winky pretty well, and I think it only makes sense for him to come back down.

Anyways, he is overrated as a boxer. People talk as if Winky Wright has better skills than every other boxer in the world and I just don't see that. Winky is AMAZING at what he does. His defense is near impenetrable and every fighter (whether they win or lose) looks very poor against him. Winky Wright is a very great boxer who does ONE THING so well that he wins all the time. Winky doesn't throw hooks or uppercuts, he has little head movement etc. etc. Winky wins despite this (as a matter of fact, if he started throwing a wider variety of punches it might make him WORSE, so I don't hold it against him) but he is not one of the best "pure boxers" of this era.

 

LOL, that was me. Accidentally posted on my brother's account.
