WINKY WRIGHT TO RETIRE?
By G. Leon
After hearing some rumblings that future hall of famer Winky Wright is on verge of retirement, **********.com reached out the Florida native and pressed the matter. While Wright is unwilling to concede a "official" retirement as of now, he made it clear that he will not return to the ring for insignificant fights pr tune-ups. He cites difficulty to be fully motivated for lesser opponents as his primary reason for the decision. If we've seen the last of Ronald Wright in a boxing ring, we'll certainly see in him Canastota in the near future. Wright's career peaked in when he twice defeated Shane Mosley, (the first win unified the division) and easily outpointed Felix Trinidad. Wright lost his last two fights, a close decision to Bernard Hopkins and a drubbing at the hands of Paul Williams following an industry imposed two year layoff.
Winky's one of my all time fave's. I'd miss him.
