best defensive boxer of all time

[Verstyle]

tyson's defense was awsome (which was bopping and moving around).

Where Im from bopping means giving head.

If you gave head alot to alot of ppl then you're a bopper.

In my opinion floyd mayweather jr, his defence is superb and he can also launch attacks from it as it makes you miss alot so he can counter you.

I don't know if he was the absolute best, but Muhammad Ali was certainly one of the greats. What he did with George Foreman was a marvel.

** That was a miraculous fight for Ali, but being Foreman's punching bag for 90% of the fight doesn't qualify as a defensive gem. Ali was a terrible defensive fighter in his comeback overall. Well documented in just about every bio published and any comeback fight you watch.

Pep probably fought more rounds than any fighter in history and was a top fighter for most of those rounds. Very little punishment until the Saddler fights. Nobody really approaches Pep's defensive mastery and offensive artistry although a good argument can be made for Robinson being the better overall fighter because of his power and competition.

Prime Tyson was great in defense.

Versi, Versi, Versi. Me and you have GOT to have a sit down over THIS one LOL!
