Middleweight movements

After Ronald ‘Winky’ Wright’s majority decision and second consecutive defeat of ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley, the champion signaled his desire to make himself available for the big fights with the priority being a showdown with Puerto Rico’s awesome puncher Felx ‘Tito’ Trinidad. Wright has always been a quality operator but his career seemed to have stalled at one point with no high profile fights leaving him to contest multiple fights with nearly man Bronco McKart. If Wright decides to traverse the gap between light middleweight and the reinvigorated ranks of the middleweight class, he should find himself up against the likes of Trinidad or even the undisputed champion Bernard Hopkins. Mosley has also decided to continue his career in the middleweight ranks and will likely still be seen as a viable option for high profile fights because of his improved showing against Wright. We’re almost at the New Year and that is the time that Fernando Vargas has scheduled to return to the ring. Felix Sturm, Howard Eastman, William Joppy and Jermain Taylor are all top middleweights that will ensure exciting times ahead for the middleweight division.
