      All the big names he beat got beaten by someone else in a more spectacular fashion.

        He was avoided for a lot of years, Mosley gave him his big break, his resume isn't great but it's an alright resume.

            mosley? come on... mosley is a midget compared to winky, not listing him does winky a favor.

              he broke with mosley for sure- but yeah. the size disparity is not ignorable.


              him and arthur abraham is a good fight- i hope it comes off.

              winky is good though- people think hes boring and i wont argue- but he's got a turtle style that will keep him a tough opponent well into old age

                boring fighter who wonders why nobody wants to fight him, could it be nobody wants to see him fight?

                  yeahhh, I think hes overrated. Everyone always talks about how he can take a hit blah blah blah, but hes been inactive for like a year and the last time he fought he lost to like a 42 year old guy. True he fought shane twice but I still don't like him all that much. Hes also crazy boring to watch lol.

                    he beat mosley twice
                    i thought he drew with bhop
                    and he really beat vargas
                    he's been avoided most of his career and was the first to unify the junior middle division
