Best Offensive & Defensive Boxers

Defensive: Whitaker Offensive: Joe Louis

Right now is would say Tito is the best offensive fighter. He picks he shots and is very accurate. He never waste any of his punches unless his opponents are hurt and he is trying to finish them but even those are good punches and not wild punches. Defensively Mayweather is the best. When he isn't trying to prove that he is tough Mayweather is damn near impossible to hit. This guy is amazing to watch when he is on top of his game.

hmmm im gonna try pick persons not already mentioned... offense- morales defense- Ali

Offensive = Trinidad, Tszyu, Castillo Defensive = Toney, Mayweather, Hopkins

How come so many of you picked almost all current day boxers, & then listed "prime Mike Tyson" ? Damn....this guys nut sack has to be GONE....from all the tonguing it gets. Best of today : Offensive = Trinidad, Corrales, Tszyu, Pac, R. Marquez. Defensive = Mayweather, Toney, Hopkins, nobody else.

Offensive: Julian Jackson, Joe louis, George Foreman, SRR, Henry Armstrong, Sandy Saddler, Tyson.. Defensive: Willie Pep, Pernell Whittaker, Winky Wright, Joey Maxim..

Offensive : prime Tyson, Tszyu, Trinidad, Cotto, Pacquiao Defensive : prime RJones Jr., Mayweather Jr., Spinks, Toney, Byrd

RJJ's defense was based on pure reflexes, which is probably why he's getting badly KO'd as he loses them slightly...

offensive: Tyson, Frazier defensive: Toney

Defense:Chris Byrd, Winky Wright, PBF, and James Toney.

offensive-kostya,pac defensive-pbf, winky

Offensive: Tszyu, Trinidad, Corrales, Cotto Defensive: Mayweather, Toney, Wright

Defensive: Toney, Mayweather Offensive: Tszyu, Tito, Cotto, Pacman, All round: a prime Roy Jones Junior...no one comes close.

Offensive: Trinidad, Tszyu Defensive: Toney, Mayweather All-round: Cotto

Roy was unorthodox, but nearly impossible to hit because of Speed. I see Zab going the same way towards the end of his career - bad KO's, as soon as his speed goes

Offense- Trinidad, Ike Ibeauchia ( or howeever u spell his last name.) Defense- Floyd and Toney

Yeah I forgot Toney for defense. Doesn't seem to do much, but is hard to hit.

defense: winkey wright, james Toney

offense-Mayweather,Trinidad,Tyson(when he was in his prime) defense-Mayweather,Pernell Whitaker,and James "Lights Out" Tony

Offensive: Cotto, Trinidad, Tszyu, Lacy, Corrales, Wladdy Klit, Pac Defensive: Toney, Byrd, Mayweather, Hopkins, Wright
