...is his defense better then Toney or Mayweather i don't think it is ...is it his speed or power then ? i wouldnt call him among the best in either ...so what is it ?...and where do you rate him

hes a great current fighter but of al time hes just ok. the thing that makes him great right now is that he is just now getting his shot, he was ducked by some of the best and just now is starting to come out and being known by other people besided die hard boxing fans, just like margarito. these guys look good becouse the fear they put in people in there weight class

Winky's good as he is really good at EVERYTHING. He has, in recent fights at least, shown his amazing understanding of the sweet science - ie hitting and not being hit. He makes it look so easy, so easy that in fact I once saw someone post on here "Winky's defence doesnt look difficult, I could do that". Well, you couldnt. Winky just makes it look like you could as he makes it look so easy. He is the best defensive boxer in the world today, and I include PBF in that. The reason PBF is above him in the P4P stakes is because he now offers a little more than brilliant defence - he has a ruthless streak in him now. He wants to stop fighters. Winky is a great fighter though, and my pick for P4P no 3, after PBF and Pac Man

Technically he is among the best in the business today. He's not very exciting or anything, he's just damn good at what he does, winning.

** Haven't heard any Robinson comparisons. Winky will never be a great fighter. He is a hardworking very good fighter who has made the best out of limited charisma and power. However, it's only the reps of fading Tito and Shane which have elevated Winky recently. He formulated a perfect style to beat them, but was caught with his pants down against Soliman and looked very limited.
Certainly Winky's defense is better than Toney's and he's better in his division than Toney, but it looks like Wink is fading now. He has another year or two at the top, so I hope he knows when to get out. He might be a darkhorse for the HOF.

all good points i'll have to keep an eye on him .no i never seen anyone compare him 2 Robinson just that i think some over rate him just a little ...he seems like a nice guy out of the ring and i have no problem with him other then beating tito

i'd even put him in the p4p top 10 just dont know how high

He's personally my P4P #1. after that Pacquiao, then Mayweather Jr. And if anything, he's underrated not overrated. Just because alot of people talk about him on boxing forums doesn't mean he gets the same respect as far as boxing in general.

well, to be honest, i would pick Wright over many fighters (Taylor included), but i'm always gonna weigh both fighters in any situation respectively.
