    Felix Sturm, Winky Wright and Joshua Clottey question

    What would be your 1 to 3 ranking for these 3 guys in terms of Peek-a-Boo defense/boxing style?

    Any other top Peek-a-Boo boxers I didn't mention? You can rank them in as well.

        None of them fight out of a peek-a-boo style.

        They all use a high guard defense.

        And it goes;

        Winky
        Sturm
        Clottey

        I only rank Sturm over Clottey due to his Title reign (although weak) and the win he should have over Oscar which is enough to rank over Clottey for me.

          My ranking would be:

          1. Felix Sturm
          2. Joshua Clottey
          3. Winky Wright

          I based my ranking on attack and defense/damage-received (especially, least likely to get knocked out against an elite attacking boxer like Manny Pacquiao) using the Peek-a-Boo style.

          Yeah, I know, Sturm got KOed/beaten by Castillejo but he was winning most rounds and he got careless. Sturm got robbed against Oscar.

          Cotto dropped Clottey with a jab (Clottey got robbed).

          Winky's defense is good too. But I put him on number 3 because his attack doesn't look good/textbook/classical compared Clottey/Sturm. His attack looks "ugly" but it's very effective. Also, imo, he kinda gets hit a lot when he flurries/trades with his opponents.


          Just my opinion regarding Peek-a-Boo boxers, especially defense.

            He doesn't use that style of defense.

                  ur rite...i remember him using a rather high guard but his guard is more of a cross guard than anything.
