I agree. When I say discouraged, I mean he mechanically couldn't figure Winky out. Too much height n reach, similar to Vernon. And an even tighter defense. And on top of that, a guy who came forward and pressed him the whole way. SSM couldn't find anything to take confidence in and was reduced to goin thru the motions. Cotto was the one who moved him, more so wit physical strength as opposed to hurtin him wit punchin power which he never did. Vernon did both.Winky didn't lay any lumber on Shane (or anybody, for that matter).
Winky used his length and jab to control Shane. And SM could not adjust to the lefty stance.
I would disagree that SM was discouraged by any incoming from WW. SM just mechanically couldnt figure it out.Comment

plus winky looked and played a much bigger man than shane... as he did against Tito. Wright was clearly the stronger guy in the wring and he knew shane couldnt hurt him, and that played a huge factor....I agree.

Actually he knew Shane could hurt him after he dropped his hands and got rocked pretty bad. Its Winkys good High guard defense that helped him alot to go along with his long jabs and straights.Comment

Well, the Tito fight was different. That was one of the best boxing performances of this decade, imo. I don't think bigger/stronger really came into play. Maybe "longer" if you consider the right jab.
WW knew that Tito could probably put him to sleep. Or that was Felo's only shot of winning. And WW used some of the best distance control that I've ever seen. He was always in range to land a stiff jab (stiffer than he used before. by Round 10, it was hurting Tito). And WW was simultaneously always out of range for any Trinidad punches.
Brilliant performance.Comment
