    Naw, you were far to inactive and stagnant IMO..When you actually let your hands go you looked elite, but that defense of yours limited counter attacks

      Well said! He mostly only wanted to steal rounds with last minute work.

        That's funny because Oscar lost to Tito and Winky smoked Tito in his prime, it wasn't competitive

            couldn’t stand watching his fights...kinda like Joshua clottey....they could fight 1000 rounds and they would all look the same, no exchanges or knockdowns..

              Tito was not prime in that fight are you serious? He had fought 2 times in 3 years, He came out of retirement to fight Mayorga then fought Winky

                Oscar flat refused to fight Winky because Oscar knew that Winky was too much for him.

                Winky beat Tito, and Shane Mosley twice....both guys beat Oscar. Anyone else see a pattern?

                  Funny winky lost to vargas and Oscar knocked Vargas the phuk out. Styles make fights. Winky would of never beaten Oscar because he would of either been too inactive in the ring or priced himself out the fight all together. There is a reason why he had so many long layoffs and killed many potential fights in his career. To the point when a fighter turns down a fight because of ridiculous demands they say he must of went to The Winky Wright School of Business.

                    Triangle theories dont work in boxing man, He beat Shane true but Tito was coming out of retirement and far past his prime.. Not saying Winky could not win but his style would have made it a hard fight for both and Oscar could have taken it on activity alone...
