    Nothing against Winky just dont think he has done enough and if the hall is like that it just seems anyone that won a belt can get in,thats cheap to me.

    One of the best jabs and lefties ever. Hugely underrated and ducked by many. Terrible to fight against. Former undisputed Jr MW Champion deservedly. Hall of Fame? I am sorry, no.

    LMAO. Okay, cause you must definitely be aware that non-champs get into the HOF.

    Oh wait, you're not aware.

    This makes no sense. You think he's one of the best lefties ever but not good enough to make the hall of fame?

    Had decisions that were against him as with the Vargas & Taylor fights but he did unify at 154 and had a run there being one of the best fighters. He was PFP rated for a few years so he could get in. That Taylor win he deserved would've sealed it though it hurts his legacy that 3 of his best wins were against blown up welters in Trinidad and Mosley. Still proved himself at 154 and was a highly regarded fighter rightfully so. He was his own enemy pricing himself outta fights but guy deserves to be in. Not gonna use the "Well Wright is better than ______ so...." as that give an excuse to further water down the Hall of Fame. Keywords: "FAME". I can't really see him getting in the Hall of Best Fighters of their time but he was good enough to be inducted to the Hall of Fame.

    actually he hasn't been in with pretty much anyone, but like paul williams, he really was a fighter others didnt want to fight.

    he only got targeted once mosley lost to him and brought something to the table
