Great point, unless you truly believe he got old overnight, I would say that Winky was looking good in the Quartey and Taylor fight. He was the same ol' Winky but with much more willingness to open up and exchange (probably for the fans and for boosting his marquee). Even if his Winky's legs are gone, his jab is still there, along with his defense, which at 154, I don't think PBF will be able to crack. Even when throwing the jab, Winky does a good job of covering up. Winky will outwork him to a UD.
Yes he does. Just because Winky uses his jab more than Floyd doesn't mean he has a better jab. Floyd's jab is stiffer and more accurate. He also does a good job of jabbing to the body. Everyone thinks Winky has the greatest jab of all time, not true. Winky has a good jab and it's probably about 60% of his offense, but it's not as good as people make it out to be.
For me, the great thing about Winky's jab isnt really the speed, stiffness or accuracy of it. It's that he's able to dominate and dictate entire fights with it. You may be right, maybe Floyd does have a technically better jab, but he doesn't do nearly enough with it.
Well said - Winky has shown in the past that he can control a fight with it. Maybe he's slipping, so maybe Floyd has the better jab now.
