      Is this supposed to be automatic? Because I dont think so.

      His biggest win(s) is against a guy who had no right fighting at 154. Who has looked like **** in most of his fights above 147. Simply put, Shane Mosley is not the same fighter at 154 that he is at 147.

      Bronco McCart x3? Drawing with Jermain Taylor? Beating a past his prime Trinidad? Why is he a Hall of Famer?

      Granted I had him beating Vargas and Taylor on my card, but both were close.

        A top 5(could be argued as #1 though I don't think so) Jr. Middleweight of all time?

        Yes.

            IMO Winky has done enough to make the HOF, no matter how the Williams fight goes. He was the top guy at 154 for years. The wins over Mosley and Trinidad should put him over.

              if he gets a few big fights comming up, he's been gone too long and his best wins arent that convincing to me

              maybe another fight with hopkins? or pavlik? who knows

              as of now i must say no

                No he isnt a lock for the IBHoF, but he could get selected.

                  He will be if he beats Paul Williams. Otherwise it might take a while until Wright gets inducted.

                    I think he will get in eventually, but probably not on the first ballot. The boxing hall of fame has many guys in it that are worse then Winky, so to me he has to get in.

                    I doubt it would be on the first try though as he lacks in popularity and much of his career was fought in obscurity.
