    years of "oh, poor me, no one will fight me" "all these guys are ignoring me" blah, blah, blah....

    then he gets the fights he wants just to **** them away and then cry robbery (just like his fans). Now he thinks hes being ignored when he gave away the 12th round against Taylor in a close fight, fought a shitty fight against Hopkins....waaah, waaaah, waaah.

    get this guy the **** off the p4p lists.

    started crying when he lost to vargas........a fight that was close. but vargas rightly won imo. certainly nothing to whine about.

    at best for wright it could have gone either way.

    and didnt he lose to harry simon???

    I agree with you 100% and that's why I've never been a fan of his. And at this point in his career he is just looking for 1 or 2 final fights before he retires. He is faded and he balloons up in weight between fights too much. I don't think he will ever put on an impressive performance again.

    He bit off more than he could chew against Hopkins and shouldn't have run in the final round against Taylor in a close fight. That's all there is to it.

    ill tell you what wright has to say about Simon and Vazquez fights "waaah, waaah, waaahh...i was robbed, damn judges..."

    he says the knockdowns against Vazquez were bull**** when he clearly was rocked, messed up and dropping to the canvas.

    How this guy is constantly in the top 10P4P is ****ing driving me mad, no one wants to fight him because he is boring as **** to watch, has a smaller fan base than Casamayor, and hasn't won one big fight to deserve a shot at anyone of significance. He's not exactly gonna frighten people with his overwhelming pressure style and brutal power, I've been tired of this guy for years but like herpes he just won't ****ing go away.

    He doesn't belong in that list.

    I'm one of the most vocal against him in turning down the rematch with Taylor . . . which I feel he could have won. :yep

    yup. Hes had chances, so I dont want to hear anymore bitching from him. I cant stand these fighters who cry that they arent getting fights, lose when they get an opportunity, and then ***** again.

    wright is a p4p fighter when he was at 154.
    he is not and should not be ranked at 160 or 168 .

    not his fault IMO ,he went chasing the money v bigger and taller fighters who had a size advantage over him ,its just ring gave him his ranking based on what he did at 154 which was very good.
