I've always said Hopkins is my #1 for defense.
How Winky is still in the discussion after Bernard proved who the better man defensively is/was, is beyond me..
When Mayweather gets roughed up by Hatton that will close the matter.
Both Winky and Mayweather are badly overrated in this department.
Although... I will say they do a better job of showing their defensive ability through exaggerated posturing and reactions that average idiots can recognize. (no diss on the threadstarter who is liked and respected)
Out of the two I picked Mayweather. Winky is too much guts and offense to be a better defensive fighter than Floyd.
He doesn't try to be, and therefore isn't.
But Wright's method with the gloves is a Boxing marvel. I love that.
Truly, the shell is an offensive tool. Winky basically forgo's defense.
Of course I won't deny it works beautifully defensively.. It's just that Winky uses that shell for more than just protection. He uses it for range and counterpunching primarily IMO.
