    Winky Wright - Is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1990 to 2012. He is a two-time Super Middleweight world champion and was the last to hold the undisputed title at that weight until Jermell Charlo in 2022. In his later career he also challenged for a unified Middleweight world title. In 2005, The Ring magazine ranked him as the world's second best active boxer, pound for pound. In 2017, it was announced that Wright had been elected as an International Boxing Hall of Fame member in the Modern Category, alongside Vitali Klitschko and Érik Morales. He retired with a professional record of 51-6-1 (25 KO's).

    One of the best Super Welterweights of all time! Winky Wright was an excellent technician who possessed a terrific jab and superb defensive skills. Fundamentally he was one of the most sound fighters during his prime in the late 90's / 2000's and his 2 reigns at 154 lbs were very good. His most impressive performances came against Shane Mosley and Felix Trinidad as Wright's superior jab and overall boxing IQ made him the decisive winner. A fantastic fighter who often doesn't get the credit he deserves! www.patreon.com/haNZAgod

    Man build his whole career on three basics: jab, high guard, being southpow. And he became absolute champion and never have been KOed. Just understand how good he was.

Not the flashiest but man if you've ever boxed, you'll really appreciate the simple but effective boxing style this man had. He was a damn machine too, crazy cardio to be able to pump that jab and block for 12 rounds.

      @@joshuaarmand5236 for sure. I’m not knocking his left hand, just pointing out it’s not seen as often. Chad Dawson comes to mind as someone like that I grew up with. Usually it’s a lefty dominant being orthodox, like Cotto or DLH for example.

    Great fighter and great video as always. He showed how far you can go if you just master the basics.
    Is there any possibility of a "routes to the body" video with Jack Dempsey? It might be short but it was what he used to set up his most famous moments. That famous Willard knockdown, the Sharkey knockout, the Carpentier knockout, all set up with shots to the body... Some maybe a little lower...

    It's interesting how Winky not having smth. special beat top-fighters. He wasn't flexible like Whitaker. He didn't have high work rate like Mosley. He didn't have a strong puch like Mayorga. He didn't use various and long combinations like Pacquiao. Also he didn't move fast. He walked in the ring with jab and one-two and became a winer. How was it?
