Winky Wright vs. Felix Trinidad- Full fight!

[Ron Swanson]

Praise baby Jesus, I wanted to see this for as long as I heard about the result.

Yea... you just wanted to see it. Now I see why they hid it for so long- it was so one sided, so disappointing for Trinidad, that it not only broke his spirit but changed his earning potential.

lololol...

Lets not get carried away here. Hopkins took Tito's heart and everything after that was King cashing out. Winky Wright did not break his spirit. It would have been nice to see Winky, Ike and Tito all go at it in their primes but it was just not to be. Winky also beat Ike at 160 convincingly but that's not evidence for what would have taken place at 47 or 54.

That was not Tito in the ring that night. Crazy that I think I remember a post from that long ago but I believe I remember you saying before the fight at ESPN "Winky couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag". That's something I always respected about you, you don't stubbornly stick to your opinion on a fighter when the evidence doesn't support the opinion.

Lol that's quite a memory.

Thanks. I was a fan of all three guys but Winky was never a puncher. Maybe he lost something as a converted right hander but he never had power per say. Beautiful piston like jab though.
