Winky only beat names, because Shane gave him a shot.

Lets look at beforehand. Before he fought Shane.
Winky beat unproven Candelo. What else... hmmm Small man, Angel Hernandez. A lot of these went to decisions. And he lost to Vargas and Harry S.

Many of these fights were dominant performances, but not without Wright getting a little puffy in the face in the process. So what, he won the fights. No big names on his resume at the time, but he needed one. Just like Margarito, he needed for a prime-time fighter to give him his shot. Turned out, it was Mosley who would give it to him. People didn't think much of Winky back then, because that wasn't a pick'em fight at the time, he was the underdog. It was this chance that gave Winky his time to show what he really was. If he was bad, then all they nay-sayers were right. But as long as he got his shot, he could prove what he had, good or bad.

Hagler is another one. I don't think you know your history, so you can google that story up yourself.
