Pep, Pea, older Hopkins, Benitez (when he was on), prime Duran (and even later in his career showed it at times too).

Willie Pep was the master of defence.

Sweet pea was fantastic too.

I have read a lot about that. Pep claimed it was possible to do just that and everyone laughed at and ridiculed him.

Then he went on to do it

From what I've seen of him, Nicolino Locche had defensive skills & awareness in the ring that could match anybody's in history, and I think he deserves a mention along with Pep, Whitaker and the like.

I have seen the same in Locche and we should add Miguel Canto to the mix in my opinion.

I'll plus one that statement, for sure, because they don't make them any slicker or slippier than that great little flyweight, Miguel Canto.
