Is fast becoming one of my favourite boxers. He was and still is so under rated because of his style.

He is defensivley excellent, fast enough to counter and inteligent enough to take the fight to the opponent, he is one of the best all round boxers i think i have ever seen.

Opinions please

My opinion is that yours is correct. He is vastly underrated and a defensive master, had brilliant ring smarts, and was hard to outsmart and plan a strategy for inside the ring.

He would be a nightmare to box against. Just ask Shane Mosley after 5 rounds of the first fight.

He's a very smart boxer with excellent defense. Not sure if he will start boxing again but i wouldn't mind seeing him have a go at starting to train fighters some time in the future. I think he could teach a lot with his defensive skills.

MY problem with Winky is, he comes into his fights with the mentality of "not losing" and trying to just outpoint his opponents, rather than trying to take the fight to his opponent and win decisevly. Winky fans will argue that he throws alot of punches, and always comes forward behind his high guard. While the might be true, what exactly is he throwing?... Jab after jab. Occasionaly u will see a pathetic attempt of a power punch that appears as if it wouldnt hurt a flyweight. He's so worried about not taking any damage, that he neglects to dish out damage. To each its own, but i can do without watching a Winky fight ever again.

Because he thinks he's the biggest draw in boxing and overprices himself.. I've never really liked Wink all that much. He's a good boxer and I respect him but I usually fall asleep watching his fights. I've never seen him KO someone. He hasn't in a loooonnnnnggg time..

I agree...Winky is highly underrated...On any given night he would give anybody problems...I hate that he hasnt fought in a while....I sure hopes he gets back in the ring to fight again...Its always fun to watch Winky fight IMO despite how some call him boring...It takes talent to go into a fight and make your opponent looks silly...Anybody can go out and brawl but Winky makes it look easy on how he blocks most of your shots and counter you with hard straight...He's one of my favorites!
