    HOF

    Hater's would say different. Dude should have been MW champ after beating Taylor's garbage ass too.

    Good vid and I agree. Taylor/Wright & the Wright/Mosley fights had great action and he put a clinic on Mosley & especially Trinidad. Vargas/Wright was a war and he beat up Quartey. Definitely has a great resume(Hopkins, Mosley twice, Taylor, Trinidad, Quartey,etc.) and what's not to like about him as a fighter he's willing to fight anybody. (Well I don't know who avoided who between him & De La Hoya but it doesn't matter because both have great resumes and are great fighters)

    winky will be HOF.
    a fighter who was genuinely avoided and genuinely difficult to fight.

    Nah as much as I'm a Mosley fan, I don't think he's an ATG.

    In 20 years Oscar De La Hoya will still be holding his breath hoping people and his fans forget that he successfully ducked Wright.

    Having said that, Wright was able to beat the likes of Mosley and Cheato Trinidad, but IMO he did not beat Taylor. I can't remember the exact score, but I had Taylor winning their fight by two points.

    Very good boxer who was avoided by the best in his prime.

    HOF without doubt , in his prime 04 / 05 (roughly) as a 154 lb'er he was IMO the #1 P4P fighter in the world , one of the greats of the modern era IMO :good
