Originally posted by ShaneMosleySr View PostEven if you thought Wright deserved the decision over Vargas, you scored it 115-113. It was a very close fight.
Wright wasn’t top anything pound for pound because none of the big names would fight him. Vargas has the balls to fight Wright and won. Wright’s next big shot came against Mosley. He shined and became a top three pound for pound fighter.
Wright was 39-2 entering the Vargas fight. His losses were to 50-1 Julio Cesar Vasquez in 1994 and a very close loss to a two division undefeated champion in Harry Simon.
Also, Wright handed Trinidad his second loss. So until that fight, Trinidad wasn’t viewed as shot. In fact, it was a super fight.
So let’s not pretend Wright and Trinidad changed so much after they fought Vargas.
Wright would be a better win because he’s bigger than De La Hoya and arguably better even without the size difference.
Because of that, it would clearly be more impressive to pull off a win against Wright than winning against De La Hoya.
Let’s just look at their common opponents, it proves it’s harder to beat Wright than it is to beat De La Hoya.
De La Hoya won a very close and somewhat controversial decision over Ike Quartey. Winky Wright won 9 or 10 rounds against Quartey.
De La Hoya knocked out Vargas after a back and forth fight. Wright lost a controversial decision to Vargas.
De La Hoya lost both his fights against Shane Mosley, the second one was very close and somewhat controversial.
Wright outclassed Mosley in the first fight and won the second fight by close decision. It was not controversial though.
De La Hoya lost a close and controversial decision to Felix Trinidad. Wright won every round against Trinidad.
De La Hoya was beat up and knocked out by Bernard Hopkins at middleweight. Wright lost a close and controversial decision to Hopkins at light heavyweight.

The poll results have nothing to do with what we’re debating.
Whether or not you think Trinidad would have beaten Vargas if the low blow didn’t happen happened has nothing to do with how good Vargas’ win over Wright was.
