Best fighter that used the Peek-a-Boo

Mike Tyson, Floyd Patterson, Jose Torres, Juan Diaz, Miguel Cotto, Winky Wright, and others
Who do you think is the best now, and back then

Tyson probably used it best. More in the '80s than the '90s.
Of this generation, I think Wright used it most effectively.

Depends on your definition of peek-a-boo. I've often seen the term equated with the by-the-book orthodox tight, high guard (like Cotto and the majority of modern fighters use), not just the D'Amato version.

Peek a boo refers to the hands high, bobbing up and down while moving forward style used by guys like Tyson
The style of defence Winky uses has a similar hand position, but less headmovement and forward movement. Winky kind of sits back behind his guard.
