A great champ that was on the short end of the stick with boxing politics. A solid champion who could have beatin many around him had he has the chances!

Being a boxing fan living in the same town as Winky Wright, I can't go out to a fight event without bumping into him.

He's a cool dude, and he was a great fighter. No matter how much his turtle shell defense sucked the life out of offense minded opposition, he was a master at his craft. To this day, he is the greatest fighter from the Tampa Bay area.

A very good fighter who was severely avoided, and it's good he retired now as I believe his last fight against Quillin was a very honourable performance, all things considering. He was 40 years old, coming off a 3-4 year lay off and made him work. He gave a pretty good account of himself.
It's nice to see fighters go out like this, other than the RJJ route.

Somewhere Lefthook is celebrating.

Good riddance. I never liked Winky. I hated everything about him. Talked like a gangster, fought like a banker. That's how I always described him. He was talking tough and fighting like a puss long before Mayweather ever did.

Seeing him come to the ring in a suit late in his career just solidified every opinion I ever had of him. He was well-versed in his craft, but everything else about him just pissed me off.
