Vargas - Winky Wright on espn classics.

[Roque_sevilla]

I saw it...I also remember him finishing the fight and coming out with a loss he deserved but the crads were like in the 116-112 range and if you suibtract the Kds he suffered Winky did very well most of that fight.And could have won it had he been more of a puncher like I've stated in this thread previously.

For me was an incredible fight to watch, and Winky had the skill to won that one...but i think he wasn´t ready for that , Vasquez was a real hard puncher with definitely 1 punch ko power, and at that point,Winky wasn´t the defenssive fighter he is nowadays and, also, he was a lot more agressive, and then, more self-discovered

Great fight

Did HBO or another American network cover that fight?

[Roque_sevilla]

He has, trust me... Hyperion is the biggest Winky Wright fan on this board I think, even though he likes Morales more... he is very passionate about the guys he likes.

He was one of the first to explain to me what the Harry Simon fight looked like. I think he called Julie Lederman an ugly **** too. Real funny ****.

if he has seen the fight, he must be a huge fan of Winky by still calling him to be undefeated

Yes, you got me, 4 losses to 4 losses, I'll be right by the end of the week

In seriousness though, he has lost a lot more considering how few fights he has been in.

[Roque_sevilla]

Atending to that record you have shown how can you sostain that Vargas made a name for himself and winky had take it off? double victories and he has finished all his fights...including his 4 loses...thats something i cant say of Vargas

[RAESAAD]

Vasquez had like 50 wins most by KO when Wink fought him....no doubt Wink lost that fight but it showed him the way tpo becoming the great fighter he became...anyone comparing Winks success to Vargas is crazy..Wink HOF...Vargas....ahh maybe..nah I don't think so fat boy Gatti.

You also got two differnt mentalities and fighters.

Winky is don't get hit and try not to get hit.

Vargas is all warrior and somtimes a warrior can lose but he comes back and wins again.

Winky made a name off of Trinidad. You can say Mosley, but Winkys stock really took off when he fought Trinidad.

Vargas has always been a fighter on the rise taken on tough opponets and show a kill or get killed attitude in the ring, even if it ment losing by ko. But it did get him a ton of boxing fans to pay to see him fight. Winky waits for the big names to fight cause even if he fought a top ten fighter he would have a hard time getting fans to see him fight.

Vargas will always get more love then Winky in the boxing circles.
