Winky Wright is one of the most under appreciated boxers of his era. This is a guy that rarely got big attention, yet he beat some of the best of his era.
He spanked a prime Shane Mosley in more dominating fashion than Canelo or Pacquiao did (against a past prime Mosley).
He shut Felix Trinidad's offense completely down. Everyone who knew boxing in those days knew that Felix had one of the most lethal offensive styles in boxing.
If Tito were prime today, he would easily be betting favorites over Canelo and Cotto. Tito would KO both of them.
So Winky Wright shutting Tito down was one of the most historical achievements in boxing. I don't think Tito won a round.
He also beatup a young Fernando Vargas only to get robbed on the scorecards. He also absolutely schooled Ike Quartey. A fighter that gave prime De La Hoya all he could handle.
GGG is a good, strong Middleweight with explosive punching power. Winky was a master southpaw boxer that always moved forward behind a piston jab and sometimes impenetrable crab defense.
How well can GGG fight going backwards? GGG's style is based on him moving forward and timing his opponents. That wouldn't work against Winky.
I see Winky beating GGG by keeping the jab in his face, busting him up and keeping him on the defensive.
