Yes BUT I don't think we can say Winky Wright "exposed" Felix Trinidad because Tito was a hell of a fighter in his day and fought at the very highest level vs some very good opponents.....Winky handed his ass to him, but I wouldn't go as far to say Trinidad was "exposed" simply due to how good he was before that fight. Same with Roy Jones Jr. & Tarver or Johnson.

Jeff Lacy was on the brink of being World Class and got the shit hammered out of him and never regained his former glory, never came close. I was one of the guys that bought into the Lacy hype too. I was so hyped for the potential of a Taylor vs Lacy bout and when it finally came, I was like "meh...I guess they might as well, but I'm not all that interested".


Dominick Guinn got exposed, Audley Harrison got exposed...those guys were at the very least supposed to be really good contenders and they even managed to fuck that up.
Tito's a bit different. He did not always plod in looking to land with his head incapable of movement. He changed from being a boxer puncher to mainly puncher just around the time of Carr or shortly after. Tito had issues with the jab and Winkys was like a piston and from the other side. He controlled the fight with it. Hopkins laid the blue print and it was he that capitalized on what Tito figured was his strength first. Just a bad style match up and Hop used the same tactics to beat two other plodders in Pavlik and Cloud. Lacy was a swarmer that never had the talent his record or hype suggested. Cal made him look like an amateur.
