Battle of the Mosley Beaters -- Who wins at junior middleweight?

Both Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright have two victories over Shane Mosley. If they could have met at junior middleweight, who do you think would have won?

    Quick answer, i'd say Winky Wright. Vernon Forrest had the potential to become a great fighter, who was supposed to win the gold medal back at the '92 olympics (which by the way he beat Mosley for that spot on the US team) but i remember he ended up getting sick or something to that effect the night before a fight. what also hurt him in a way was when he took 2 years off from boxing because of injuries and when he came back he had that fight against Sergio Mora and lost, i had Forrest winning that fight by the way. So in reality, in my opinion we never got to really see how great Forrest could have been. Winky Wright on the other had is considered one of the best defensive fighters, some say one of the best ever. He doesn't get alot of the recognition he deserves because his style is considered boring, but he does what he needs to do and that's win, i just think Forrest wouldn't come out with enough offense to break down Wright's defense.
