Never fights either again.

GREAT FIGHTERS beaten by Winky Wright :

Shane Mosley, TWICE, in his prime.
Tito Trinidad - on the back end of his career.

TIMES KTFO

Jones - 2
Wright - 0

In terms of pure talent and public perception, Jones is ahead. In terms of production, performance, record against top competion, Wright is at least equal, if not superior. In terms of skill and craft, Wright is WAY ahead.
I like Winky, but to say he beat a prime Shane is a reach. Shane starting slipping after getting beat twice by Forrest. I dont see Shane as a dominating fighter at 154.

I rank Winky at least equal to Jones, since he has alway wanted to fight the top guys. Jones spent a good part of his prime fighting cab drivers. When his skills slipped he got knocked out by cab driver named Tarver.
These are some of the stupidest things I've ever heard... Look at the record of the guys Roy fought, and then tell me he ducked people... He fought a whole bunch of good if not great fighters who proved themselves, and had beaten the guys he supposedly ducked... He also would be maybe the only person who could beat Winky EASILY.... He would be able to counter that jab, and he has way more power than Taylor so Winky would be taking the hardest shots he would ever face by a landslide, and though I don't think Roy could knock him out with one punch, but he could definitely hurt Winky, and I think stop him.
