Winky Wright – Finally Getting Respect

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There is a very famous line of dialogue uttered by Joe Frazier to an up-and-coming Marvin Hagler that boxing insiders and fans are familiar with. It’s a line Hagler could have repeated to Ronald “Winky” Wright years later after Marvelous Marvin had jumped over endless hurdles to achieve his goals while Winky was in the formative years of a boxing career that would mirror Hagler’s in terms of frustration and disillusionment. Frazier, no stranger to heartbreak himself, leaned into the young, angry Hagler and said, “You got three strikes against you, son. One you’re black, two you’re a southpaw and three you’re good.” [details]
