Someone finally wants to play with Ronald "Winky" Wright.

Like a kid on the playground that nobody wanted on their team, Wright stood around and watched Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya, Bernard Hopkins, and Fernando Vargas all talk about fighting eachother, while poor Winky was left crying, "what about me?" He even wrote an article in The Ring magazine about why Bernard Hopkins should fight him. ESPN's former broadcaster Max Kellerman spoke with his trademark enthusiasm whenever Wright's name was brought up, naming the southpaw the most ducked fighter in the middlewight division. A skilled but often boring boxer, Wright would have gone into the history books being best remembered for his trilogy with Bronco Mckart, but this saturday night in Las Vegas, "Sugar" Shane Mosley is about to give him his biggest payday.

So does Wright pose a threat to Mosley? He is not a big puncher and has probably no chance of knocking the junior middlweight out. He has been sacrificing his defence as of late in order to make more entertaining fights, and he has never been in a fight this publicized before. "Sugar" Shane is fresh off his win over De La Hoya, riding high on a wave of positivity, long deserved exposure, and momentum. Mosley is faster and stronger than Wright, but the question is could Wright's southpaw style and sound boxing abilities make life difficult for him?

Mosley hasn't had a knockout in a while. He needs one. Badly. Look for a wildly entertaining fight with some nice boxing, while "Sugar" Shane goes after Wright the way he went after Vernon Forrest in their second fight. He'll rough him up with shots to the body and right hands, proving simply to powerful for the veteran junior middleweight. Many thought Wright had beaten Fernando Vargas, who's a very strong puncher in his own right. But Vargas does not have the boxing ability, footwork (or chin) of Mosley. Sugar "Shane"'s experience in big fights will come through in spades.

Prediction: Sugar "Shane" by lopsided decision.

Last week I mistakenly said that Joe Mesi was fighting Vassily Jirov. That fight is actually the undercard of Mosley-Wright. My prediction stays the same, however. Jirov by knockout.
