    Don't think that Winky is overrated. He's actually underrated. His win against Mosley said it all. Most people think that Shane's gonna win but it's the other way around and it's a convincing win. I think could've won against Oscar if ever given a chance. And he could surely give a great challenge against Tito and Nard.

    I don't like his style though...

What rounds are you talking about people wanting to give him that he's not really winning? I don't recall the fight that well but I can distinctly remember thinking that Winky should have won the fight.
      Hell I dont remeber off hand. I aint seen the fight in awhile, but I do know I had Vargas with a clean win.

      The fight was close but Winky pretty much shut down in the late rounds and I thought Vargas won the fight.

          I am not sure if he is overrated or not but I do know he aint great. He aint really fought anyone but Mosely and I think their are a handful of fighters who could beat him at 154 to include Kassim, Mayorga, Forest and maybe even Shane if Goosen has taught him what he did Diego. I just don't think he is in the great catergory but he could change my mind if he beats some more big time fighters. I think Tito and Hops KO him due to the size and strength advantages.

            Wright is about as overrated as Larry Holmes was in his prime. Wright has gotten no respect ever, so how is he overrated? he doesnt have a ****load of natural talent he is just a smart fighter who does what he was trained to do, if some of these others with more natural ability were as disciplined such as Mosley they could beat him but I pick a smart weak fighter over a strong dumb one anyday.

              i just don't think winky is all that. i think he deserves some attention and money, i mean he has been around and been good for a long time so i'm happy for him to finally have a little time to shine i guess.. but he isn't great imo.
              I don't think the sugar man can pull it off even moving his hands!
              And Winky is THE undisputed champ for a good reason: he's far above everybody at this weight! He's getting more credit by casual fans since beating mosley, but he's always been very appreciated by true technique supporters

                U know why people like Pacman because he is a POWER PUNCHER. Back to Wright he is just a boxer through and through in the mould of Vernon Forest. Kasium Ouma would stop Wright and even Vernon forest

                    I think there is nothing mosley can do to win the fight, so wright is going to get the big names like tito or nard. Im sure taylor will fight him since winky is comin up to 160. So we will know if the shine of glory is a fluke or not.

                      Winky looked very average in his victories over Angel Hernandez and J.C. Candelo, but he looked very impressive against Mosley the first time around. But Mosley is the overrated one.
