Winky always did great against bums...so I say he beats this bum too.
Actually Winky fought down to opponents.A mediocre fighter would have Winky fighting down to his level.But the better the fighter,the better Winky fought.Except for the Punisher.
This fight is simply unfair,for Margarito.Margarito isn't stronger than Winky.If Margarito cannot push U back,it's a wrap.Winky had an amazing jab.I see Margarito powerless blows bouncing off of the Winky defense with Winky walking Margarito down & simply punishing him for 12 rounds.I'd be suprised if Margarito even won a round.
Sam Soliman is just not a good comparison.Solomon was a legit middleweight to go with his high volume.Margarito has only fought at 154 a couple of times.Winky stood up to much bigger & stronger men like taylor,B-Hop & had Tito's power looking non existent against that high guard.Winky walks U down & he'd walk Margarito clean outa that ring.
Stop talking about a sport that you know absolutely nothing about.
i mean even with that said, margarito didnt look that good in the santos fight. i mean i dont think much of santos and if i rememer correctly it was a close fight(the second one) in which both guys seemed like they were hurt a few times. not to mention that he really didnt bully santos at all well not the way he usually does. im sure that fight was a big reason as to why margs decided to stay at 147.
Margarito was not good at 154. He lost to Daniel Santos twice at 154, and that was the best guy he fought, and Santos isn't even that good to begin with. Winky beat guys like prime Mosley twice, draw with a prime Jermain Taylor at 160, close fight with Hopkins at 170, close fight with a prime Vargas who some say should've gone to Winky, beat a past prime but still tough Quartey.
Margarito was nowhere near Winky's level. Let's not get Winky confused with Clottey who barely throws punches and uses the ear muff style of fighting. Winky was a very busy fighter back in the day and I just don't see how Margarito at 154 would be a competitive opponent for Winky. Maybe at 147 against a weight drained Winky Wright he'd do good.

the first fight was at 147 and was a NC that ended in the first round. the second fight margarito should have won. i had it 6-3 or maybe 5-4 margarito at the closest but santos got the decision.

Mosley was too strong for Margarito. Mosley was too weak for Winky. Margarito runs into millions of jabs, gets inside... and roughed up. Oops! He can't win. Winky will hold him for as long as he wants, push him backwards in a clinch as far as he wants to, and push him around to keep him off whenever he wants. Margarito takes a Trinidad like beating but looks even more hopeless cause he actually gets to do what he can do and have that get stuffed too.
Styles make fights Winky's style is tailor made to beat Margarito
Winky was a master at being able to make guys fight off their back foot. I think it would be a great fight but Winky clearly wins unless he gets one worst decisions ever like he did against Vargas.
Winky's strength and toughness among other qualities and his boxing ability (jab, timing, defense, and accuracy, esp.), would get him a clear cut decision. This coming from someone, who thinks Margarito would give Mayweather hell.
Take away Margarito's strength advantage, ability to land and overwhelm his opponent with punches and, he's in a rough spot. Winky just has the "right" advantages for Margarito.
id go with winky. ppl use the soliman fight and winky did get hit, but the fight really wasnt close. winky clearly won he landed the better shots and his defense was on point for the most part.
the difference in these two fights is 1. margarito is smaller than wiinky, or at least he has constantly fought at a smaller weight class. furthermore, the way solimon threw punches and the way he fought was totally different that how margs fights. margs comes in the straight line with looping, obvious punches. solimon was a type of fighter that moved a lot when on offense and his punches came at numerous angles. these are big differences that make this fight for winky.
if margs cant get winky outta there, he loses. theres no way he wins a decision in that fight, imo.
I see where people say a high workrate beats Wright. Winky's still hard to hit clean and tough at that. He'd be able to land his right jab all day, and he'd outmuscle Marg on the inside, and work the body like Mosley did too. Wide UD. Paul Williams beat Marg on activity with light punching, Winky can too,
He would handle him by covering up and jabbing repeatedly while playing slap-handies with any punches that came back to a revoltingly boring unanimous decision just like most of his fights.
Winky is by far the much better fighter. And, a greater Jr Middleweight.
However, stylistically wise Marg has the style to give Winky hell and possibly beat him. Winky really doesn't have anything in his arsenal that could give Marg problems stylistically wise.
Marg pressure mixed with volume punching would not be good for Winky.
The only thing that makes me favor Winky in this matter. Is that it will be at 154. And, Marg was better at 147 than 154. At 154 he really didn't have the advantage of size and strength.
Just cuz' of that I will lean towards Winky, in a very close maybe split decision victory. But, it would have been a fight that Marg could have won as well.
