Thanks for the Winky mention. But anymore it seems like he isn't a real true counterpuncher, he just uses his defense and waits for a punch barrage to end, then he goes on the offense?

Id call Winky a pressure fighter, really.. Definetly not a true counter puncher.

I agree with Boozer and P4P about Winky. He's a strange type of pressure fighter, because he's not a big puncher, but he is trying to dicate his will one you, as opposed to waiting for you to bring it to him and turning it against you.

Calzaghe can counter, too, but he's more pressure, same with Tyson. They aren't pure counter punchers.

Yes this is all good. I think we would all admit that almost everyone at the very top tier can counterpunch to some extent.
