quartey- another small guy making a brief comebck
taylor - get little credit for giving the bigger man a draw
soliman- a workhorse that gave him hell
trinidad- the naturally smaller man coming off a long lay off
mosley- ditto
mosley- the smaller man he should have beaten

what a difference not being champ or p4p number one makes as far as how your competition is viewed...
Well lets be fair, Hopkins was and still is one tough nut to crack and like was said before it was such a big mistake to go up and face him. Even though I do remember very clearly that Wright was the favorite here at Saddo.

The fight with Taylor was actually a real good fight and a good performance by both. I feel Winky should've pressed on at the end and he would've gotten the win. And again, lets be fair, Taylor is a hell of a fighter who just had wicked opposition during his short reign.

As for the rest, names on a list can be decieving, those guys were either semi inactive (Quartey and Trinidad), or coming out of loosing streaks (Mosley)

I do give great respect for Wright and I know he is one of those fighters that nothing was given to him, he had to take it. But I also don't think he should be rated any higher than other modern era 2 time, one division champions.
