Wright: "Taylor is Better Than Trinidad"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

During an interview recently conducted by Chuck Johnson of USA Today, Winky Wright told the paper that middleweight champion Jermain Taylor is a better fighter than Felix Trinidad, and he expects a much harder fight. [details]

Stylistically, and in terms of being in his prime, he's right.

[ßringer]

I think Taylor is better than Trinidad now. I don't think that Taylor is better than Trinidad in his prime. I think in terms of the Trinidad that Wright fought, yes Taylor is better than him. However I don't think he is better than the Trinidad in his prime. Taylor is still too inexperienced and too green.

Taylor is and was a better MW though.

winky is in denial if he thinks he faced the prime trinidad, i can't wait till taylor ****s him up

Very true. It didn't even occur to me to think about that, I was just sizing up the fighters. Great point.

Prime or not Winkys style would have given Trinidad fits anysay of the week.Look what DLH did to him the first 8 rounds or so of their fight and he just boxes and does not have great D........I like Tito please don't think I am hating but Winky would have beaten Trinidad 7 years ago too.

Trinidad is a great welterweight, a pretty good junior middleweight, and a lousy middleweight. Enough said about that.

Lousy he lost to Hopkins and Winky they are very credible opponents and Joppy was not shot until Trinidad shot him........but I do get your point.
