I know you all don't think much of Wright but I give the man very good props. He has beaten almost all on comers and great legends.
If Wright wins against Hopkins and De La Hoya, I will rank him among the greats like SRL/Hearns/Duran/Hagler. And he rematches Taylor and finally gets the win against the judges, that will put him right over the top.
I think Winky is one of the best and if he beats Hopkins, which I think he will, he has to be looked at as one of the best boxers of this era. My P4P list would have Winky at #2.
Great fighter and sure HOF'er but i don't know about putting him up in the league with the Fab 4. The best names on his resume were soundly beaten previously, and a bit past their prime when Winky fought them. Not to say that Wright wouldn't have defeated them anyway, but it does "hurt" those victories a little bit.
i got mad respect for winky. what i like about him is that he's a normal quiet boxer. never talks shit about nobody. and his defense is awsome. nothing but respect.
