Think nothing of it babe. It's a good thread & come good points by all.

Another question is who gets punished more? I think I would rather be Mayweather in the ring than Winky because Winky still takes hooks to the side of the head more quite a bit. Mayweather it seems like he never really gets hit when you watch the fights and almost never by a clean punch.

He got hit with some good clean punches in the Judah fight, but not alot though.

Only 3-4 times, and Judah is exceptional in speed, and skill as well. He still got hit less by Judah than Winky did against a slower, older Mosley.

I'm a huge fan of both fighters...& for me...it's a toss up...but in two different ways.

In the end, for me, it's Floyd with the slight advantage here. Floyd is better than Wright because he is so damned awkward. He uses his whole upper body as a defensive weapon. Rolls his shoulders, slips shots, & so on & so on. When he rolls out or away from a combination he's automatically in line to throw combinations where Wright is not.

Conventionally, Wright is better. Wright uses his forearms & peek-a-boo's with his jab. Hiding behind an almost unpenetrable set of forearms, Wright can shoot his jab straight down the pipe & right into line of sight for most fighters & that throws them completely off game.

I still say Floyd is better...just in a different way...because honeslty...I think & have stated that Wright is the best defensive fighter of the last decade...even over Hopkins.

Where would you place him against Pernell Whitaker.
