Chavez takes the cake here. as well as Armstrong.
Ill throw Dwight Muhammad Qawi out there too.

Muhammad Ali is documented saying George Foreman was excellent at cutting off the ring and one of the best he has faced in that sense.

I heard that too, heard alot of others say it too but i personally dont see it and agree with Steak, George looks like he just follows u around for the most part

Just a stalking presence, really. I think Foreman understood this effects a fighter mentally.

Joe Fraizer and Sonny Liston followed fighters around alot also. But they are both very good at cutting off the ring when they do, kind of like Foreman.

Just thinking here Mike Tyson deserves a mention, He had some quick feet and nobody really gave him a boxing lesson, to beat Mike u had to kind of put it on him...

Kostya Tszyu wasnt half bad either or Tony Ayala...

I think my top 5 would be something like this tho

Chavez
Armstrong
Frazier
Duran
Pryor (I was seriously tempted to throw Miguel Cotto in here i rate his ability to cut off the ring that highly)

Would anyone rate Margarito highly?

In terms of the latest era or this era then yes but on a historical level then no, I woudn't.

Do you think Ali's rope a dope was a pre planned strategy? Ali trained an prepared to move like he did against Liston. Foreman gave Ali no choice and completely cut the ring off forcing Ali to the ropes. You must have been thinking about the come backing Foreman.
