who were they?

Who were the top fighters whose game was to come forward and attacked but never really got hit clean or only got hit few times?

Aaron Pryor was slicker than he was getting credit for.
Tyson, Frazier, Toney, Pacquiao...

lol i was about to say the same thing. one of his best fights was against collazo and he caught a lot of shots in that one, almost went down.

Some of y'all will laugh at this, but I think JCC's evading skills are a bit underrated. He's known for his granite chin. But, if you watch his fights, he generally did a great job of making his opposition miss with subtle head movement

While I agree or partially agree with your other choices, I have to completely disagree with Pacquiao.

Dude gets tagged up even when he's dominating his fights.

Granted, his defense isn't complete ****, but I would not put him and elusive in the same sentence.

A young James Toney was very elusive and aggressive at times. I watched his fight with Micheal Nunn on YouTube last night and that could have described his style perfectly.
