Is Winky underrated physically
I don't remember posting this, but maybe I have because I've been thinking about asking it forever. People always say he has such great technique, but I think he also is an athletic phenom that nobody hears about his athletic attributes enough kind of like Ray Lewis for americans. I've seen WInky have enough reflexes to comfortably block most of which fast punchers like Shane Mosley, Robert Frazier, and Jermain Taylor can throw. I see Winky who at 34 is as fast of hand as Jermain Taylor if not faster, and when he was younger was faster than everyone I've seen him fight except Frazier and Mosley. He has a high tolerance for taking head and body shots which is both a physical and mental thing. Last but not least WInky doesn't get acknowledged for this enough, but he is incredibly strong even for a middleweight... SUre he doesn't hit as hard as most fighters p4p of his calibur, but he does have the strength to come forward all night on the giant middleweight known as Jermain Taylor, and he walked through Trinidad strength wise. I know alot of his ability to hit, and not get hit is his timing, but reflexes enhance timing along with experience. Thats my 2 cents at least on WInky.
Re: Is Winky underrated physically
You are probably right but in my opinion too many people are already chomping on Winky's ballbags way too much for my likeing.
Please for Gawds sake don't give even more praise to lavish on him.

Huge fan of Wright...huge. He's like my second or third favorite fighter.
The thing about Wright is that he's more of an accumulative puncher than he is a powerhouse...or strong puncher.
If you look at his shots & how accurate he is...IWO...that's where his strengths lie.
He's pretty much right on the button with his shots.
Re: Is Winky underrated physically
Winky is prolly the strongest fighter at Junior-middle weight and one of the strongest at middleweight.I could even see Winky holding his own at Supermiddle and Lightheavyweight divisions

From a technical stand point yes Winky is very good, but for the average viewer he is just too boring of a fighter to watch. That is his biggest downfall.
Re: Is Winky underrated physically
Its funny I haven't found one fight of his really boring because he brings himself down to his opponents level it seems most of the time. I loved Him vs. Vargas, Mosley I&II,Taylor,Trinidad, and his smaller fights.

I suppose your not an average viewer. I meant the celebs that pay thousands of $$ to go see only the big fights and the boxing fans who know less than 10 fighters. I guess what I am saying is that I don't think Winky is as much underrated as he is less popular to draw the average boxing fan.

The Vargas fight was amazing. I love that fight.
One of the better Wright fights, IWO, was the McKart fight. Seen that one? If not...you need to.
Re: Is Winky underrated physically
Which Mackart fight? They fought 3 times...
Re: Is Winky underrated physically
Yes, Winky is very underated physically. He doesnt look all that big and naturally is smaller then alot of his opponents but every last once of him is very strong.

The second one...I don't really rate their last fight. Sorry state that one. I can't remember exactly how many times it was...but Wright got hammered in the balls until the ref DQ'd McKart.
He was a pissed off human...& you know his balls were killing him.
Re: Is Winky underrated physically
I've watched winky spar with much bigger and stronger than him.And in every match I watched him humiliate his opponents ....Jeff Lacy,Antuan Echols,Tarver,and many others less notable boxers.Several big heavy weights also.I never mention that his strength is underated because I yank his chain too much on this site as it is. I'm not a band wagon jumper I've been a believer for 12 years....and every since Vargas I've been betting as if the fight was rigged .....head-first ......Borrowing.....Saling........Pawning.... refinancing....still spending Trinidad money ;D
Re: Is Winky underrated physically
Winky's very strong, no doubt about that, and he takes a good shot too. Is he unhurtable, no of course not nobody is, Vasquez hurt him more than once, a very young Winky though, and with his great defense he doesn't have to have a David Tua chin, but the fact that he does have a good chin to go with the defense makes it very hard to hurt him. And he's fast, he's not PBF fast but he's fast enough. So yeah I think he is underrated physically.
