You cant win having a shitty offense and a Shitty defense, However you can have a mediocre offense and a supberb defense and dominate and stay at the top... When I spar I am defense 1st and I feel more comfortable countering same as my grappling I rather have someone commit to a takedown or a move and counter from there.. it keeps me in a relaxed frame of mind and better prepared to handle whatever comes my way including adversity..

I love em Both and Winky and Floyd's defense is extremely effective and is tailor made for there attributes and Style.. Winky has seemingly freakish long arms so when he has the guard up his whole front from head to belt line are covered so he deflects the majority of shots coming down the pipe..

I prefer Floyds defense at this point in time cause its unorthodox and more versatile which makes countering easier and and has a better xcitement factor since mayweather looks like a ghost in there he probably has the best Philly shell I have ever seen couple that with his footwork and its like trying to steal the wheels off a car thats going 25mph virtually Impossible just like hitting Floyd with a set bona fide power shot ..

I love this topic to you little Bro
Although I dislike Mayweather as an individual, I certainly have to give him his props as only a fool would say that mayweather won't go down as an all time great. I do think that Mayweather's superior speed and footwork make him an outstanding defensive fighter. But when comparing him to Winky, it's like comparing apples and oranges.
Mayweather has always had the more fan friendly style with his bolts of impressive speed and punching power. Winky was a little known craftsman who should have made it to the world stage a lot sooner. I think what turned people off from Winky was that he was never a KO artist. However, his defensive skills are impeccable and he is a great counter puncher. The Felix Trinidad bout was an absolute BOXING CLINIC! Even against Hopkins, I've never seen a fighter so lopsidedly dominate in route to winning arguably every round of the fight.
I think Winky is the best defensive fighter out there period, with Toney coming in a close second.
