    It was Trinidad.

    But the Mosley win was just massive for Winky, and he had to earn it slightly more. I'm more impressed with that. But Trinidad was more impressive.

      It sounds like you are seriously as torn as I am about this.

      He dominated both, but Trinidad moreso.

      He was a complete unknown, meaning no one really gave him a chance against Mosley.

      Both fights turned out to be against guys who were way above their natural weight classes.

      He didn't really hurt either guy.

      Shane's superfast style almost gave me enough motivation to vote for that win instead of Felix, but I just couldn't quite do it.

      2 Questions for you Addison:
      1. Where have you been? I haven't seen you around very much since the Cotto-Mosley fight, except for when you completely schooled me about Fernando Vargas.
      2. Why do you always have an animal as your avatar?

        The judges scorecards in the Wright vs Trinidad fight. Some people still believe that Tito has a chance against Roy.

          maybe the mosley victories were more impressive because NO ONE thought Wright would win and 85% of the casual boxing fans had never heard of Winky..i think the Mosley fights gained Wright some recognition but the Trinidad fight made Wright a star and household name.. i went with the Trinidad fight because it was a shut out and it was on a bigger stage.. i personally enjoyed the trinidad victory that was a very entertaining fight.. i do think both trinidad and mosley are one dimensional fighters so it wasnt really a shock to see them lose to wright

            I voted for Mosley because I think Trinidad was already past his prime.

              Winky dominated Tito, he was like 900 to 1 underdog lol.

              I'd say when he beat Tito was his most impressive win.. Not that Mosley wasn't impressive.. I just find his win over Tito veeeery impressive.

                Trinidad. He was essentially undersized in that one. He was the bigger man against Mosley. Both were impressive. I think Mosley is a better fighter than Trinidad, in some ways, but he gave a true Hall of Famer in Tito, only his second loss.

                The Trinidad win was pretty impressive.

                  morsley is a better fighter so ill go with that....actually im just as immpressed in winky's second victory over mosley, because while it is much closer, it is only closer because winky let shane be flashy here and there, winky was much more accurate and took much less punches ahtan in their first fight...mosley only landed double digits in 1 round....
