He's as smart as he ever was but I think he was a little closer to his prime when he made like 20 successful defenses in a row.
Ok not shut out...but when did wright look dangerous? He didnt.

He still is live for 12 rounds in fights...look at his recent fight, was he not live and punching and using his skills for the whoel 12? He schooled pavlik for 12 rounds.

He has recently fought and beaten better quality opposition than he did when he made his defences.

1. tarver
2. wright
3. pavlik

Its my opinion that he is more dangerous now (at light heavyweight) than hes ever been.

Anyones opinions on whether he shouldve moved upto super middle or light heavy sooner rather than continue defending at middle weight when he was clearlt capable of moving up...hes done it now and its my opinion hes more dangerous than ever.
