Winky Wright; unappreciated or overrated?

I think he's neither. People realize him for what he is.

 

He was THE GREATEST the night he taught Trinidad everything there is to know about boxing.

 

Any news on this guy and who he might fight next?

 

neither , he is a decent fighter.

the american print media go a bit mad for him but everyone else seems to know where Winky fits

 

Unappreciated and Underrated.

Remember Shane Mosley? How good he was regarded as, even now he is still regarded as a top WW. Winky schooled him. Then beat him convincingly in the rematch. He dominated Tito. Many feel he beat a prime Vargas, including me. Don't forget he beat Taylor also. He made Quartey look C-Class. And he was beating Hopkins at 170lbs until Hopkins's rough-housing finally wore him down. He can still beat anyone from 160lbs down, and I feel should still be in the top 5 P4P.

 

Hmmm yeah but Shane was way too small and Tito and Ike were past it and rusty as hell so that flatters to decieve somewhat. Winky is a solid , decent champ no more but certainly no less either. I rank him alongside the Glen Johnsons and Clinton Woods of this world

 

I think he's pegged about accurately these days, especially now that he's declined.

Doubt he can make 154 anymore, and Pavlik has better and more entertaining options. Personally, I'd like to see Taylor vs. Wright II and Pavlik vs. Abraham, but that isn't realistic.

In the meantime, Winky will wait another six months to fight, get a little older, drive a very hard bargain, then start bitching after he loses. I respect him, but he is not one of my favorites.

 

wow.

 

I assume you disagree ? lol !

 

You think Pavlik would beat him? I could see him losing to Pavlik possibly. You're right, he'd be better off at 154lbs. He likes to ****ing eat though, so I don't know if he really wants to go back down there.

 

He is leagues above Johnson and Woods as far as skill and accomplishments are concerned. I think this much is obvious.
