Fighters best at mixing defense with their offense?

Juan Manuel Marquez

no offense, but Marquez is not even close to fitting this catagory. the guy gets hit all the time. yes, even in his prime, Im very well aware hes old now.

Duran, Napoles,maybe toney and im going on a limb here and saying Basilio (see Basilio v Robinson I)

Juan Manuel Marquez

I was thinking Marquez too. Duran is a good one.

Chavez got hit a lot.

Chavez had excellent defense coming forward. which is why he came away from his fights rarely marked up at all, and was praised for his defense before and after the Rosario fight.

Marquez got marked up against guys like Jandaeng Terdsak and Jimrex Jaca, who werent even the best in their division. frankly I dont understand how anyone could think his defense was good under any criteria.

I'm sure some old time fighters fit well here, but off what I've seen live, Duran is an easy first choice here.

the 3 guys on top of the lightweight food chain...

You can't criticise Marquez as a choice but nominate Chavez, IMO.

The two Sugar Ray's come to mind for me.
