Is Floyd’s defence a boxing Icon?

[tyson]

His elbow to the throat is legendary.



Notice how he holds with the other hand so they can't get away.

Awesome display of in-ring skills.

By the way, he never hit with that elbow, he pushed.

[Fox McCloud]

I doubt his defense will go down as something remembered in 50 years.

Both Willie Pep and Pernell Whitaker are considered better defensively from what I have heard by a lot of people.

James Toney also had a good defense.

Really, defense isn't widely discussed from historic fighters.

[Jim Jeffries]

Awesome display of in-ring skills.

By the way, he never hit with that elbow, he pushed.

Didn't mean to imply that he hits with it, cutting off the blood supply to the brain is far more effective with steady pressure.

[Flawless]

Floyds elbow compare nothing to Cotto low blows against Judah. Judah even sed the low blows taken a lot out of him.

[Burner]

Didn't mean to imply that he hits with it, cutting off the blood supply to the brain is far more effective with steady pressure.

So Hatton isnt a dirty fighter...what he did to Kosta was criminal.

[tyson]

If that was his intention, he should take a martial art lesson.

You don't cut off the blood supply by coming from the top, you do it by pushing up from beneath the chin.

[MikeBrew328]

Left check-hook. English fans will certainly remember that, Shattered a Hattons career.

True story.

Floyd's defense really is marvelous, but it's not one of invincibility. He has been tested a few times and that says a lot about his chin, body, and heart. He really needs to have like 5 more fights and go down as the GOAT

Is Floyd’s defence a boxing Icon?

Is Floyd defence good as:
Ali’s Shuffle
Marciano’s Chin
Mike Tyson Right Hand
Roy Jones Reflexes
Holmes jab
Calzaghe Slap
Vitali Klitschko Cuts
Zab Judahs Chicken Dance
Oscar De La Hoya Panties

Floyd will be remembered as an all time great. I was wondering if his defence will be his main part of his legacy. If Oscar De La Hoya can’t hurt you are something extraordinary and no natural welterweighter will even get close.

I'd like to see his defense against an actual welterweight contender who is in their prime before I claim his defense as an icon.

Yes, his defensive prowess is what makes him stand out (or not stand out if your not a fan of d)
