Now even the people who HATE PBF have to respect his amzing defense, Im just wondering how he stacks up alll time, I mean can he be compared to people like willie pep? is he on that level?
..................
Mayweathers defense is great ...but it looks even better this day an age.....
back in the days even the bums had great defense.........
nowadays defense is not used as it used to be...............
so really its more of the fact that boxers nowadays have no defense......
again even back in the days the guy that was 2-62 had defense............
anyone that says that mayweathers defense is the best ever hasnt watched enough boxing.............
I couldn't think of anyone else. lmfao. I struggle to think of defensive specialists or fighters that excelled in defense because most of the time their offense overshadows their defense.
If we're being honest, the man in your avatar outdoes both I'd say. Some would argue Toney because of how he looked at times with his shoulder-roll, etc, but he got hit clean too much, and I simply can't rate someone so inconsistent in a category like this.
Toney and Wright? :ugh: Toney belongs in an honorable mention category outside the top 10, Wright maybe a little further behind, but surely neither are top 5.

Pep was a defense specialist he is proberbly No.1 then Sweet Pea is 2nd Mayweather, Toney and Wright would proberbly fill up the top 5.

yeah trrue so maybe he is no willie pep but where does his d fense rank in a all time list? top 5? top10? top 50? even top 100?
Not many fighters have had as effective a defense as Floyd, so yeah in that category he's an ATG, yes. AMong the best I've seen on film, along with guys like Whitaker, Benitez, Locche, Pep, Jones Jr., Toney(at times), Hopkins, etc.
Could Floyd win a round without throwing a single punch? Floyd has extraordinary defence for sure, but Pep was 110-1 before he was in a plane wreck that almost killed him (he turned down 500K from the insurance co, an insane amount of money in those days, to keep fighting), mostly from his defence.
