Whos Defense was bettr Mayweathr or Winky Wright?

mayweathers!!! just cause he can counter with speed:boxing:

Yeah, I don't think people realize how hard it is to duplicate that style. Lot of guys try and get nailed right up the middle. Yea Winky is very good at what he does infact he probably has perfected it. I like Floyd's def a little better, for one because he does not have the southpaw advantage. I also think Floyd has a little more versitility in his bag of tricks and he can turn his defense into offense better. Although Winky's jab adds a lot to his def, so that has to be taken into account. They are both great defensive fighters, I just prefer Floyd's overall flow a little better.

Very true. PBF has a very east-coast fighter type of defense: rolling/turning with punches and countering with hooks and uppercuts. He uses it very effectively and its really cool to watch. Winky, on the other hand, just covers up. The guys forearms are ridiculously long which allows him to block his whole body when he does that. It's not nearly as pretty as PBF's defense and it can also give him the appearance that he is getting hit a little bit. I expect that style to be VERY useful against Paul Williams, who can throw lots of punches from long range. This is pretty much spot on. They are both very different and both work for them. PBF's style is more crowd pleasing so people would be more likely to vote it better. I have also noticed Winky's arms and they are unusually proportioned. He is able to block most of his midsection and face at the same time while most people would have to pick between guarding the face and guarding the body. I am also picking Winky to beat Williams and think a lot of people are underestimating him in this fight.

I think Floyd's is better for a number of reason's. He can slip the punch or just block it while Winky can only block. Floyd's D allows you to counter easier. Floyd also has the only D that Ive ever seen tire guys out. I still dont know how it works but it the majority of his fights he can tire guys out with just his Defense. The #1 reason that I have always said that Floyd's D is better then Winky's is because he's the only fighter in the game and one of the only in history who can totally swtich his style from fight to fight and alot of teams even during a fight. We all know his normal D but then he will also switch to the crab style with his arms crossed, or he will sometimes keeps his arms out in front of him and try to pick you off with his gloves, or he can use the Winky style himself like he did in the Zab fight. I actually think he would use the Winky style if he fights Pac or Williams too. It works well against Southpaws. Zab was scoring some at 1st but once Floyd switched to the Winky style the fight was over

thats tooo easy, Floyd all day...next time put Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, or even Pernell whitaker.

floyds..cause he was able so move and counter..winky just stood there with a high guard..floyd's defense is agile and allows him to place pinpoint counter shots It suited his style of block and jab.

floyds style takes skill...winkey's doesnt Everyone else just says **** it and gets hit on purposes? Not taking skills implies that Wright's defense is able to be duplicated by everyone.

You think shoulder roll slip and slide is more traditional than gloves up earmuffs? Interesting... I disagree. I think the older guys were more reliant on blocking than evasion. I agree with this 100%. Earmuffs are much more traditional.

It's a close one, especially when you're talking prime Winky. The only thing I know for sure is that Floyd's was more entertaining to watch. Wink just stood there with earmuffs on and blocked with that insanely high guard. Floyd would shoulder roll your ass, lean away, come back with a counter, then skip off out of reach. You could literally see the frustration building on some of his opponet's faces.

Mayweather's defense is better, but it's also more traditional (old school). Winky's defense is his offense basically which is a much different approach but very good too.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Mayweather's defense is better imo.

Mayweather. Winky's defense is boring and possibly overrated to me. He rarely gets hit flush, but who wants to watch him block 500 punches per fight with his forearms? I also think Floyd's is more effective because he makes people miss completely, which everyone knows takes a lot out of the other fighter.

Floydyyyyy

In his prime, Wright just did not get hit. I mean, Mosley threw 18 consecutive shots at him, and he blocked every single one in the rematch during the 9th round I believe? 8th or 9th round, about 15 seconds in... it was sick. It has diminished a lot starting with the Soliman fight. I did a poll like this and voted Wright back when I started posting here, and that was when I was a huge flomo... I think Wright ended up narrowly edging the poll, but I can't remember for sure. As said above, they are two completely different types of defense, and are hard to compare. Floyd's is probably better, because he doesn't get touched, but if it ever breaks down, he's in trouble (Corley and Judah fights), because he has nothing at all to soften the blow. If Wright misses a block, it's a partial block that he can take. I'll tell you something, if Mayweather is still fighting past his prime, his defense is going to come unglued and he is going to end up getting beaten up or knocked out in one of his fights, because he won't know how to adjust without his flawless defense.

Mayweather, but their styles of defense are much different. Winky puts up his guard, which is damn near impenetrable, and blocks the shots coming for the most part. Floyd uses the shoulder style of defense and counters the shit out of you. I mainly say Floyd because the amount of skill, reflexes and timing it takes to use that defense as well as he does is astonishing. You won't find anyone doing that better than him.

Mayweather, but they are two completely different forms of defense. Wright's is perhaps somewhat more surprising in that he is able to come forward continuously yet defend so completely simply by covering up right in front of the opponent, although at the cost of not being able to commit fully to shots. Very basic, but he has perhaps mastered it like no other fighter. Very true. PBF has a very east-coast fighter type of defense: rolling/turning with punches and countering with hooks and uppercuts.

PBF. Winky's is damn good, and at that he just blocks. PBF dodges and counters like crazy.
