American · Sacramento, USA · Born 18 November 1971American professional boxer who held welterweight and junior middleweight world titles, known for his defensive skills and ring intelligence.
Ronald 'Winky' Wright was one of boxing's most underappreciated champions, a technically brilliant southpaw whose left-hand jab and defensive mastery won him world titles at junior middleweight and middleweight. His ability to frustrate and outbox opponents with his textbook technique rarely translated into large pay-per-view audiences, but his victories over Shane Mosley twice and Felix Trinidad established him as one of his era's finest fighters.
