Yea he did well in those fights but you gotta do more then well in big fights to diserve a place in top 10 p4p. In his prime, Winky diserved a place in there without a doubt but theres better young fighters that have their place in there right now, more then winky.
But he isn't anymore so move out with this guy! If he wants to stay at top p4p he need to win with someone ...
He dominated Tito, a great 154 pounder. He became the irrefutable number 1 contender at a NEW weight. He dominated an excellent welter/light middle. He fought a close fight with the best light heavyweight in the world. I agree, he shouldn't still be top P4P atsch
he lost to taylor.....wasnt dominated but def beat decisively against hopkins, and although he beat quartey i think ike had a good showing for himself and probably would have beat him years ago.....so bye bye winky if u ask me.....whine ass
Following your arguments .... do you realize Roy Jones won HW title and dominated LHW for many years, he is way ahead of Winkys accomplishemnts and he is fighting Tito at 170 lb. So even if Jones lose to Tito he should be before Winky right now ... say at #3 p4p :deal
I thought he edged Taylor but he looked terrible (old and fat) against a very unimpresive Hopkins. Both were greats but any of the LH champs would moider 'em now. Winky shouldn't be considered top 10 p4p anymore imo.
You are talking about legacy and history. P4P is a what have you done for me lately thing. Lately RJJ has lost three times in a row, then beaten C fighters and is now facing a great who has done NOTHING for a long time. Winky has been at the ABSOLUTE TOP fight in, fight out, since Mosley.
Ok so if you are arguing about the recent accomplishments :huh who did Winky beat recently to have the p4p spot :think? He drew with Taylor and lost to 43 year old Hopkins who lost to Taylor twice when he was 3 years younger? :hi: I'm not saying he is a vary bad right now but way below top #10 p4p spot. For me his RECENT accomplishments warrant him something like #15 .. this number its cool for me.
