    Best defense of all time?

    I was thinking who would have the best D of all time? I was thinking of how swift Mayweather is head movement, body angles, etc. Hopkins was good at slipping punches and countering as well. Wright had those long arms that protected his entire body and just jabbed. They are usually boring fighters, they aren't willing to take one to give one but who's defense is the best, who countered the best?

    P.S. I am a younger guy so I don't remember all the fighters from 80's and back, I do watch the older fights whenever I can.

      I don't know if Locche had the best defense ever but this is certainly worth watching.

      The fighter continually missing his shots? The great Antonio Cervantes.

        for someone who blocks with his face his defense is impregnable
