Kampala, Uganda, Light Middleweight, 25-2-1

De La Hoya forked over a $400,000 bonus last year to sign the indefatigable Ouma, who holds the CompuBox record for most punches thrown in a 10-round fight (1,331). On Saturday, Ouma will challenge Jermain Taylor for the WBC and WBO middleweight belts.

WINKY WRIGHT, 35

St. Petersburg, Middleweight, 51-3-1

Winky Promotions announced an alliance with Golden Boy in July, after Wright lost some of his mojo by fighting to a draw against Jermain Taylor in June. But Wright's decisive win over Ike Quartey last Saturday vaulted him back to the top of the division.
