Well I'm a fan of Floyd, Pernell, and Chavez and still say both are important. I do. Still offense & defense are equally important in my view. Toney was not one to sleep on either I actually like his style better than Floyd's because he was more aggressive while using the shoulder roll and I'm a fan of Hopkins, Toney, and Floyd.
In boxing, nobody is purely defensive or purely offensive. If there was such a match-up, the offensive fighter would win.
