Yea Bernard speed was always above the rest lol
Faster than Mosley? I’d say that Bernard beat Wright with technique, not speed.

That was a reference to the video thumbail that "timing is the enemy of speed "
Bernard was a master technician but the speed on his cross was just insane.

Winky used his size and strength well at 154 but at 160, he couldn’t adjust as well.

Who finished him tho? Nobody.
Such a top notch scientist with his guard, and calculated aggression and counters.

Oh he was great, no doubt. I remember my #1 guy in boxing that I’ve ever seen, Manny Stewart, talking about Mosely thinking about fighting Winkey. He was like, what is Mosely thinking, that is a mistake. I was thinking the exact same thing.
Then Winkey beats him easy. And Mosely signs to fight him again. And Manny said that was a huge mistake, and I was thinking the same thing. And Mosely loses again. And neither fight was close. Winky was GOOD. But that defense is not impregnable, and Bernard busted up him and that defense really good. Not even a remotely close fight.

Yes.
Bernard speed was above everyone else, therefore he did what you just said.
Winky is legendary.
Merry Christmas too you and yours BTW 
You too Captain! I miss Winky Wright and those old days. Boxing was so much funner back then. 
Cheers!

I remember the lesson he gave Tito on how to throw the jab lol.
He threw 588 jabs, 185 of which landed…
I thought Winky also beat Vargas and Jermaine Taylor
Man, I hated Jermaine Taylor. He seemed to get a lot of decisions that shouldn’t have gone his way. I can’t stand that he beat Hopkins twice.

I liked JT lol. Those fights with Hopkins were good. Unfortunately that Pavlik fight was the beginning of the end for him. Now CTE has ruined his life and he can’t stay out of trouble.
