Will Winky Beat Boxing\’s Slippery Sam And Then Face Taylor?

With Jermain Taylor’s safe but unanimous decision win over Bernard Hopkins this past weekend in Las Vegas, Winky Wright will have a chance to fight for the undisputed title against Jermain Taylor, that’s if he get past Sam Soliman on Dec.10 at the Mohegan Sun Casino, in Uncasville, CT. Winky Wright is no stranger to boxing stardom and being undisputed in a weight class. He won the WBC, the WBA and the IBF titles from Shane Mosley on March 13, 2004. Now Wright has the opportunity to do what most haven’t been able to do, and that’s to become an undisputed champion in another weight class, provided that he gets past his opponent on Dec 10 and beat Jermain Taylor.

Looking at the situation it may appear that the former undisputed champion has a lot on his plate, but this is nothing for Wright to handle. With over sixteen years of experience in the game, Wright has been able to handle any and all obstacles that have come his way. From world travels for little money and no recognition, in his early days, to overcoming wrong decisions against other opponents in fights.

When you have that experience, it can become your best teacher, if you let it, and judging from Wright’s success, he has truly learned from his experience. This is not the first time that Wright has been in this position, and became undisputed, with the dispensing of “Sugar” Shane Mosley to win the titles, he did it not only once but twice.

And then went on to systematically dismantle Felix Trinidad, forcing him into retirement. On Dec, 10, Wright will be facing a tough opponent in Sam Soliman, who is also willing to put it on all the line for a shot at undisputed greatness. For years Winky Wright have trained and fought to achieve boxing greatness and I fully believe that with his dedication, his determination and his experience, this fight will be another stepping stone, to march forward and win what many have not been able to produce in the boxing world and that’s being undisputed in separate weight classes, many have tried but few have achieved, and Winky will strive to achieve greatness.

Saturday, Dec 10 at the Mohegan Sun Casino will be the night that will determine if Sam Soliman will fight for undisputed greatness or will Winky Wright step back into the eve of great possibilities and cross over the threshold into boxing greatness.
