    So you think that Mosley is hall of fame base on one legit vicory over Oscar? He doesn't have another top level win over any other high level fighter, check out his resume, I guess i'm not that impressed with his ko's over mediocre competiotion at 135.

      He really lost to Vasquez so maybe thats his only loss.

        Yes...beat top contenders and future hall of famers in their own right. Fought competitively against Hopkins moving up in weight; drew against the undisputed MWT champ (and had he fought the last round may have won it); was robbed against Vargas, though it's still a loss (albeit a well known name), and was avoided by most of the top guys for years.

          Winky dominated fighters that your boy Fishnet couldn't.

            Without a doubt. Unified Jr. MW champion and beat Shane Mosley twice.

              Winky is obviously a HOFer.

              The debate should be whether someone like Arturo Gatti should get in the Hall of Fame or not.

              Winky is an accomplished fighter and the standards for the Hall of Fame are not very high. He will get in someday.

                When people make these type of threads why dont they ever put up a poll?

                My vote is no. Winky is good, p4p good but not a HOF.

                  You people ****ing disgust me. Is this even a question? Funny thing is people who consider DLH and Mosley Hall of famers are saying No to Winky. If this thread was about Gatti or Mayorga then it seems reasonable but winky?

                  Obviously, Two time world champion, Unified the Light Middleweight division when he became the world champion for a second time and beat Shane Mosley twice, First by domination, second by a close fight. Then won all 12 rounds against Trinidad, even Hopkins and Roy Jones didn't win as many rounds and they were all bigger, good fighters, Guaranteed hall of famers.

                  Got robbed of a win against Jermain Taylor and then beat Ike Quartey (Who was robbed in almost all of his fights and was a very good fighter)

                  The only fighters who beat Winky convincingly was Vasquez (Where Winky had a completely different fighting style, not the same defensive one like has now, and still lost a close decision despite gettin knocked down 5 times (3 were a slip but when your fighting at someone's hometown it happens) and Hopkins who is one of the greatest middleweights of all time, where Winky fought him at Light Heavyweight where he has never fought before so he was ineffective + Hopkins is a dirty SOB, Headbutt, Clinch, anything dirty in the book to make the fight ugly. Wright vs Hopkins at Middleweight would have been good to watch.
