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.

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.
