Whos Defense was bettr Mayweathr or Winky Wright?

[Pugilistic™]

Mayweather's defense is better imo.

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.

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.

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.

I agree with this 100%.

Earmuffs are much more traditional.

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.

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.
