There is one fight early in his career when a guy, I forget his name, did decisively beat him. Other then that, he got robbed twice, Vargas and Taylor. Him and Hopkins was a mess and too close to call. He's a crafty fighter who can beat anyone in his class. Fighters are no willing to take that chance. BTW he is my favorite fighter.

julio caesar vasquez is the guy your talking about. people **** on winky because although a great fighter, he tends to be too defensive minded and can make for a pretty boring fight.

He has an extremely boring style and no power and his recent poor results have lent credence to the claim that he just isn't that good. He has skills a-plenty but he doesn't really have a plan B. If he gets in a hole he can't get out of it. Plus he's started to take rounds off frequently.

He is pretty yellow. He's definetely ducking Mikkel Kessler. But then again: Who doesn't duck Mikkel Kessler?

There's no way you could have scored the Hopkins fight for him unless you were a fan.

He was robbed blind against Vargas. Won 8 rounds pretty convincingly.

And he's not getting ****ted on, he just overprices himself.

Winky Wright possibly the most over-rated fighter of the last 20yrs its him or Hopkins both only beat little guys both have lost when stepped up.

I never see anyone discrediting Winky, if anything I see him as one of the most respected fighters.

At 54 winky was great, and all his praise is from riding those coat tails. at 60 and up he has done nothing to warrant the praise he got at 54. bottom line is he has lost or drew when stepping up in weight, regardless of what you think he deserved from the judges! without a claer undisputed victory how is he supposed to get cred for a draw, or loss????? winky got a title shot from taylor without being the #1 contender by what he accomplished at lighter weights, also got a shot and good payday against bhop he did nothing to merrit. he failed to shine, and win in those fights. i think he used up his chances.
