Michael Watson used it to brilliant effect against Nigel Benn..

Tyson probably used it best. More in the '80s than the '90s.

Of this generation, I think Wright used it most effectively.

Dignity is a whole other subject but...

I would say Floyd Patterson had Dignity

Depends on your definition of peek-a-boo. I've often seen the term equated with the by-the-book orthodox tight, high guard (like Cotto and the majority of modern fighters use), not just the D'Amato version.

Peek a boo refers to the hands high, bobbing up and down while moving forward style used by guys like Tyson

The style of defence Winky uses has a similar hand position, but less headmovement and forward movement. Winky kind of sits back behind his guard.
