View Full Version : What modern fighter has the best defense? Slipx 02-10-2005, 01:26 PM my 3 are byrd, winky wright, and ironically a guy named Greg Wright Warrior Spirit 02-10-2005, 01:29 PM Chris Byrd, Winky Wright, Floyd Mayweather, I'm probably forgetting a bunch of others. Eman 02-10-2005, 01:30 PM The best would have to go with PBF, without a doubt. m00ks 02-10-2005, 01:31 PM The best would have to go with PBF, without a doubt. no question Mike Tyson Jr. 02-10-2005, 01:31 PM Pretty Boy Floyd, Hopkins, Tyson Kornhusker 02-10-2005, 01:33 PM Mayweather, ****er hasn't served a day in jail. Warrior Spirit 02-10-2005, 01:33 PM Pretty Boy Floyd, Hopkins, Tyson Tyson had tremendous defense in his prime but I'm not so sure of his defense now. PRboxingfan 02-10-2005, 01:38 PM Mayweather, ****er hasn't served a day in jail. That's funny. I'm going with PBF and Ivan Calderon (105 pound champ). scap 02-10-2005, 01:43 PM That's funny. I'm going with PBF and Ivan Calderon (105 pound champ). Had to throw Calderon in thee didn't you. scap 02-10-2005, 01:43 PM That's funny. I'm going with PBF and Ivan Calderon (105 pound champ). Had to throw Calderon in there didn't you. boxernyc 02-10-2005, 01:47 PM Ruiz. Tell me he doesn't have good defense. I dare ya! Slipx 02-10-2005, 01:56 PM yes his defense in the tua bout was amazing :D AintGottaClue 02-10-2005, 01:57 PM Felix Sturm (hides) Kornhusker 02-10-2005, 01:58 PM yes his defense in the tua bout was amazing :D hahaha :D, nice mauricio95 02-10-2005, 02:02 PM juan manuel :cool: marquez oldgringo 02-10-2005, 02:11 PM Floyd and James Toney...followed by Winky Wright, Hopkins and Byrdman. boxernyc 02-10-2005, 02:11 PM yes his defense in the tua bout was amazing :D Alright, ya got me there. He got his arse handed to him in that one. I am not a Ruiz fan. Is there such a person? I just think his grab-n-grope style is a very effective defense that befuddles people who seem much better than Ruiz. He is definitely not the best defensive fighter, but I think he ranks towards the top for his ugly, ugly style. Eman 02-10-2005, 02:13 PM Before the Zab-Spinks fights i would have said that Spinks would have to be up there to. Slipx 02-10-2005, 02:18 PM I am not a Ruiz fan. Is there such a person? Maybe his close friends and immediate family, hehe. edited: but i know what you are saying, his style avoids alot of big shots, he smothers them, boring for a regular person to watch, but believe it or not I get a kick out of watching ruiz fights..i laugh most of the time though ;) Mr. Violence 02-10-2005, 02:20 PM Bernard Hopkins...James Toney...Floyd Mayweather. boxernyc 02-10-2005, 03:31 PM Before the Zab-Spinks fights i would have said that Spinks would have to be up there to. And I would have agreed too! IwatchBoxing 02-10-2005, 03:36 PM Ivan Calderon, Cotto, Hopkins and Mayweather have the best defense xrhythmxnxbluesx 02-10-2005, 03:38 PM prime tyson... and pretty boy floyd... Floydmayweather 02-10-2005, 03:39 PM Mayweather and James toney. Tha Greatest 02-10-2005, 03:50 PM juan manuel :cool: marquez Very good defense! especially tha way he ducked Pacquiao mic573 02-10-2005, 04:43 PM Without a doubt Mayweather has the best defense. If he wanted to I bet he could go a whole fight without being hit with a flush shot. loangunZ 02-10-2005, 04:47 PM I'm going with toney P@pasmurf 02-10-2005, 04:51 PM i cant beleive it was ever even a question. Floyds defense is worlds above byrd. adrsan84 02-10-2005, 04:54 PM If you throw in Calderon then you have to mention El Finito Ricardo Lopez, he would fight whole fights without getting hit flush. Mayweather, though, i think has the best D for a higher sized man. Solo322 02-10-2005, 04:59 PM Mayweather got hit way too much in that fight against corley. That's when i got worried about his defense. And don't blame it on the southpaw... :) IwatchBoxing 02-10-2005, 05:13 PM If you throw in Calderon then you have to mention El Finito Ricardo Lopez, he would fight whole fights without getting hit flush. Mayweather, though, i think has the best D for a higher sized man.Who is El Finito? I never seen him fight, and I dont see his name on the rankings, that why somenody had to mention Calderon, cause he doesnt get hit, or lose many rounds, like Mayweather, for being 5 feet tall, with no power. jack_the_rippuh 02-10-2005, 05:19 PM I have the best defense.. += El Jefe=+ 02-10-2005, 05:50 PM B-Hop hands down the best defence in the bussines BrooklynBomber 02-10-2005, 05:52 PM PBF,B-Hop and ironically the guy I hate the most.... James Toney. Hate him but gotta give him props, he got some nice d-moves. += El Jefe=+ 02-10-2005, 05:59 PM PBF,B-Hop and ironically the guy I hate the most.... James Toney. Hate him but gotta give him props, he got some nice d-moves. B-hop because you gotta have some nice D in order to last till you are 40 xrhythmxnxbluesx 02-10-2005, 06:46 PM Mayweather got hit way too much in that fight against corley. That's when i got worried about his defense. And don't blame it on the southpaw... :) floyd said that the reason why he got hit with those shots... cuz he wanted to make the fight interesting... thats why if you see the fight... he fought in a diff style time to time... |
