Yeah Wright beats them all. Sc for your stupidity.

I have Winky #95 in the all-time list...

100 Kid Chocolate
99 Jake LaMotta
98 Joe Frazier
97 Fighting Harade
96 James Toney
95 Ronald ‘Winky’ Wright
94 Al Brown
93 Pascul Perez
92 Tommy Bell
91 Carlos Ortiz
90 Dick Tiger

But I only consider the following 35 fighters as Greats in the Queensberry Rules era:

35 Roy Jones
34 George Foreman
33 Joe Gans
32 Ruben Olivares
31 Thomas Hearns
30 Marvin Hagler
29 Joe Louis
28 Gene Tunney
27 George Dixon
26 Eder Jofre
25 Carlos Zarate
24 Alexis Arguello
23 Pernell Whitaker
22 Oscar de la Hoya
21 Pancho Villa
20 Bob Fitzsimmons
19 Stanley Ketchel
18 Harry Grebb
17 Ezzard Charles
16 Benny Leonard
15 Julio Cesar Chavez
14 Mickey Walker
13 Ray Leonard
12 Carlos Monzon
11 Muhammad Ali
10 Charley Burley
9 Archie Moore
8 Jimmy Wilde
7 Willie Pep
6 Sandy Sadler
5 Georges Carpentier
4 Roberto Duran
3 Sammy Langford
2 Henry Armstrong
1 Ray Robinson

But in due course Ricardo Lopez is due to be the 36th Great fighter IMO...

Still to high. Maybe 195th is more like it.

All I can say is that Winky has 54 fights in the bag with 50 wins. He's one of the best defensive fighters of the last 10 years & he's a tuff nut to crack.

Where he ranks...I have no clue...but it'll be right there near the Nard.

Bernard & Winky are the two GOATs of my generation.

I'm fairly new to this site so I really don't know whose -who....and I don't know exactly what the number of boxing gloves represents but I do know this whoever Wacko3205 is he seems to be someone that really understands boxing and calls it like he sees it. Regardless if he likes the fighters or not.... some of the knuckle heads with lots of gloves truly should reanalyze what is it about boxing they really like. and like it for that reason.Maybe some should trade there gloves for baseball bats,footballs and guns.....then their posts would make more sense.
