    Winky Wright--why rated so high p4p??

    Why is Wright rated so high on many people's p4p list? Is it because he beat two smaller fighters in Trinidad and Mosley? I don't understand why some people put him as #1 or #2... He's a one dimensional, forward plodding fighter with a good jab (which he relies on, hardly throwing power shots) and a tight defense.

      How come so few people are eager to fight him?

        The risk/reward ratio is not worth it. He's a boring fighter (and so doesn't draw much money) and would not be an easy fight because of his tight defense.

          he's is high because he thoroughly dominated mosley and trinidad. Some even say he was the first to beat Vargas. I personally don't rate him Top 3 because those spots go to people like mayweather, barrera, pac in no particular order

            Right there is the answer to why he is rated so high. His defense, and that makes him an obstacle for virtually anyone he faces. Definitely a criteria in formulating a P4P list.

            You're only referring to his opposition.

            Hell, John Ruiz has the best record of any true heavyweight in the division right now......and yet conscensus is he is by no means the best heavyweight.

              High defense, no offense which is why I date rate him too highly.

                cause he is so hard to beat, his 3 loses 1 is by UD in which he was kncoked down 5 times and yet the scores will still close! a MD lose to this hary simon guy who i guess i heard was suppose to be good, and a MD to varg-ass which some peeps see winky winning

                he also has wins over fighters that are good and great 50-3 is a good record

                  i agree completely.

                  the top three should be pbf, pac, mab... very close

                    I don't see how he could be ranked high at the moment as he beats a Tito that came out of retirement to pummel a nonranked p4p Mayorga. He then takes on a no name, Sam Soliman and was nearly beat. His really shining moments were his 2 wins over Mosley...Mr. Sour Shane Mosley that is.
