    to me best defensive fighter ,has to be the most illusive fighter

    Hopkins is very good defensively but i would'nt say he is hard to hit ,im not saying he has a Gatti like defence or anything like that BTW

    Winky does'nt really take punishment but u can out work him in that stance i suppose ,cause even if u hit his gloves u are active & he is'nt while he is covering up ,although i agree there is a lot more to beating Winky than out working the mother ****a

    Ray Leonard was awsome at slipping shots but Sugar Ray had to use a lot of Movement to be illusive as did Pernell Whitaker IMO that is why i think Floyd Takes it cause he does'nt have to use lateral movement to be illusive etc

    i cant remeber a fighter who is as good in the pocket as Floyd Mayweather is ,maybe Whitaker but i stil think Floyd is better

      You were pointing out that Floyd barely gets hit flush and I posted a few vid's where he gets hit.

      Remember Floyd's career isn't even over yet. Most defensive fighters only lost in their late 30's.
      See the difference here is, Floyd's career is almost over.

      He has little more to prove. And there's no sense in me trying to dispute the fact that it's possible for him to get hit clean.

      lol but he gets hit clean less than anyone I've ever seen fight. And that includes Roy Jones Jr who was extremely elusive in his prime............however nowhere near as skilled defensively.

      You can post clips of him lapsing and getting hit when he goes into the 1 and done punching shell and rides the bike........but in a theoretical sense it's hard to point to one single fighter being better..........defensively.

      He's rarely hurt, and puts on exhibitions blocking punches and making fighters look one dimmensional when they're not.

            Both Foreman and Gatti used thier grills as a defense.

              Well here you see floyd vs baldomir, he parrys punches, uses footwork to evade punches, uses his arms, slips etc.
              Every form of defence, also notice his small steps constantly shifting distance, baldomir never got set.
