The Better Defensive Fighter??? WINKY or MAYWEATHER???

[Kball15]

I know everyone is gonna go MAYWEATHER, but allow me to state my reason for picking WINKY WRIGHT as the single greatest defensive fighter to ever fight on television!

Name one other fighter that can stand a foot away from his opponent, not throwing a punch and not posing a threat, and still not get hit?

Mayweather gets hit while he's running, and your opponent cant really get you when your standing alllllll the way over there...

Winky-Taylor is the perfect case for Wright. For 11 out of 12 rounds, Winky Wright stood infront of one of the biggest punchers p4p in the division. He left the ring without a scratch or a bruise on his face!

If Mayweather did that against Gatti, he'd get knocked out!

But of coarse, Mayweather has outstanding defense. But its more his elusiveness then defense. Hes gets out of the way instead of actually blocking the punches. Granted, they are both styles of defense, But skill, endurance, AND toughness are all involved in letting bombs ricochet off your forearms. Only supreme skill is needed to avoid them!

It just has to be Mayweather, sorry. The way he rolls his shoulders to keep himself out of harms way is extremely skilful.

Good points and they do just have a different way of defending although both very effective I think Mayweathers will come down to how long he can stay in great shape and how long he fights........He won't always be as elusive as he is now.......Winky can fight until he is 50 with his style.....even though of course he won't.........

Winky had plenty of bruises on his face..what fight were you watching?....Mayweather has the far better defense..honestly. on that note...

his defense is so good Margarito didnt land a single shot on him..from all that ducking.

maybe better, but these guys both have extraordinary defenses.

and plenty of bruises? i did not see one. his eyes were slightly swollen (only SLIGHTLY)... but then again, he was in a great fight and he DID get hit...
