    They are all defensive wizards how you rank them from top to bottom.

    James Toney in shape and properly prepared and in his prime not now.
    Bernard Hopkins in his prime.
    Winky Wright in his prime.
    Floyd Mayweather is already young maybe when he fought at 130 and 135.
    Wilfred Benitez in his prime.

    I posted this because they were all great boxers and defensive fighters how would you rank them from 1 to 5.

    I haven't seen enough of Benitez to venture an opinion. But in terms of overall ability...

    Hopkins>Mayweather>Toney>Wright.

    Although, in terms of defense alone, I would say Wright in his prime was the most impressive.
