      Winky/Ronald Wright easily.

      P4P. 2X wins over Mosley is very impressive.

        Hopkins still has elite skills but the fact that his physically cant back that up anymore and has him losing fights to the likes of Taylor suggests he is a B class opponents these days, regardless if he still winning fights that favour him stylistically (Pavlik)

        Wink has also beat Trinidad and has a debatable loss to Fernando Vargas.

        Joe Calzaghe never proved he was capable of beating an elite! fighter in their prime, his resume is built on wins over solid B/C class fighters and a a debatable decision over a past it Nard Hopkins
        Yes, this is right.

          If by fighting you mean staying inactive for two years and then coming back for a paycheck and getting your ass whooped.

          I suppose so.

              I don't put a lot of weight into beating 154 Mosley or a past it Trinidad. That's just me. Wink probably would have done close to the same against 154 Tito, but he didn't.

              I thought he beat Vargas and Taylor in close fights. I guess if he had W's for those fights it'd be a little different.

                he retired like a year ago and no one knows him already
                lol. That is funny when you consider the amount of threads that are still made about him and the number of times he is mentioned.

                As for the boxer in your avatar? No one talks about hi

                  I can't believe the poll is this close. I don't even like Calzaghe, but it's obvious he did more than Winky.

                      Yeah, I voted for Calzaghe. It just doesn't feel right saying Wright has a better legacy than Calzaghe, better names yeah but not a better legacy. At first I was like Calzaghe by miles, then I said wait a minute Wright has more names, but Calzaghe is undefeated and has the 21 title defenses on his resume.
