    Why run away crying after each defeat?

      However his loss last night really means nothing in terms of his legacy and how he will be viewed. Nor did that loss really mean anything at all.
      One thing it means is Winky Wright has officially arrived.

        In terms of Tito it means nothing and personally I dont feel it will do much for Winky either. I realize Tito is a bigger name than Sugar Shane but spanking Shane twice did nothing for Winky and I dont think this will boost his popularity.

        Winky will continued to be ducked.

          Overrated at 154 and 160? I think not!

          Vargas
          Joppy
          Mayorga
          Reid

          All credible opponents between 154-160

            I think it will do good for Wright's resume, so when fight fanatics like myself talk about him 10 years from now we can say Wright was a pretty damn good fighter remember what he did to Tito Trinidad.

              I'd take Mayorga off that list though at 160, cus we saw how Ricardo is at that weight. He was tired at the end of the first round. But, if Tito did retire, I can't respect that. I like Tito as a boxer, but I just can't have as much respect for a fighter who leaves the sport each time he gets beat down. To be real, I think somebody is in his ear, cus I could've sworn I read an article where he was saying that he wanted a rematch but he'd have to first talk his dad and some other peeps. Now he's saying he wants to retire? Winky's willing to give him the rematch, so why's he leaving? I think somebody's tellin him something.

                thats exactly what i have been thinking. specialy after his pops statements about how they had trained for the fight. it seems to me that his pops oves titos power more than anything. tito used to be a different fighter. he used to box better. he needs new people to train him to be what he can be. unfortunately i don't think it will ever happen

                  Ohh Winky will get his place in history, but I am referring to capitalizing on it now.

                  Thanks on the compliment.

                    I am so happy for Wright. I was hoping he would win, he said he would beat up Trinidad for 12 rounds and he did. This was a huge win for him. Trinidad lost every round so how can anyone say it means nothing to Trinidad. Middleweight is a bad division for Trinidad, (remember the Hopkins fight) he should go back to junior middle or welter.


                    If there is a rematch I expect the same result.

                      And I disagree about the 2 Mosely fights doing nothing for him. If he hadn't fought those fights, he might've never seen a Trinidad match and likely would not even have the opportunity to say "I got next" for whoever wins between Hopkins and Taylor.
