Re: Better Defense? WINKY WRIGHT or FLOYD MAYWEATHER jr.???
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.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
