best defensive boxer of all time

Michael Nunn at middleweight. Anyway Corey Spinks only landed about 15% of his punches vs Jermaine Taylor, does that make Taylor a defensive genius? I think Pavlik would disagree.

There is a huge difference between Spinks and Pavlik offensively you nerd!!!! LOL

Here's my list in no particular order:

James Toney - Master of Philly Shell defence. Slips punches with Zen like awareness.

Pernell Whittaker - His defence is one of a kind. Freak!

Winky Wright - One of the tightest defences going round.

Willie Pep - Won a round without even throwing a punch by wooing judges with brilliant defence.

Jack Johnson - Could pick out in-coming flack in the air while placing his blows at the same time. Very natural defence.

Jack Dempsey - His aggression was his protection and the inventor and master of the 'bob and weave' followed by thunderous rights and lefts.

Gee, you think? Making a point about punch landing percentages, smart guy.

Going deep through time: Young Griffo (1869-1927) should, at least, be one of the top five. It was said that Griffo was able to avoid punches while standing on a handkerchief, without taking a step whichever way out of the hanky. He lost a controversial decision to Hall of Famer Jack McAullif, who barely touched him in all of the ten round fight. He arrived in many of his fights drunk, but often managed to win because his foes didn't get to him at all.

More recent past: Nicolino Locche, aka, "The Untouchable," should not be overlooked.

Funny how a bum named Buster Douglas had the "style" to beat a prime Mike Tyson.
