Win, lose, or draw this weekend...will you ever respect Ronald "Winky" Wright?

I respect him, but only because he could kick my ass in a boxing ring.

I have never seen Winky Wirght fight and been in awe of his skills. He gets the job done is the best thing I can say about him.

I also didn't realise till a few years ago when I checked his record that I had actualkly seen Winky fight about ten years ago on a Benn undercard (think it was second Collins fight) against a local Manchester guy (ensley bingham)

If he goes on to be a legend I can always say I saw him fight ;)

Winky showed out last night...that should have been enough.

I think just about everybody respects him as a fighter, just not everybody likes watching him fight. Can't change that, people have their own opinions.

I'm somewhere in between, I don't love watching him fight but I like him more than a lot of people do. His style of boxing doesn't interest me as much as a Toney or a Mayweather. Its not that he doesn't knock people out, I don't really care, most of my favorite fighters aren't huge punchers. Just his style isn't my favorite, but it works. Great fighter without a doubt.

Rich coming from an aids boy fanboy... ;)

Winky is a great fighter and deserves alot of credit. He workd hard to get where he is today,travelling the world,taking fights on short notice etc. He has a great resume,and whether you like watching him fight or not(I do),he always deserves respect.Boxing is not all about ko'ed and exciting toe to toe wars.
