For many years, Winky Wright looked for respect and a big payday. His first opportunity against Fernando Vargas ended in defeat as he lost a close decision that many felt could have gone his way. Given a second chance against Mosley, he did not fail and became the best 154-pound fighter in the world.
I wrote the following before their last fight, “Wright is one of those fighters who is not very pleasing to the eye. A patient and awkward fighter, he makes his opponent look bad but it is not that he looks any smoother… I like Mosley for he is one of those fighters who are good for boxing. But over the past three years, he has not been the same fighter that he was at in the lower weights.... He has looked tentative and loading up on power shots.” [details]
