Anthony Mundine- Observe....

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.

Top 3
1. Floyd Mayweather

[Flawless]

Mayweather closely followed by Tony Margarito

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Ali 1966.........

[The Scientist]

Willie "The Wisp" Pep

Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker

Nicolino Loche

Ezzard Charles

These are the boxers that immediately come to my mind. I'm sure there are others I'm not aware of, the talent is out there in some obscure gyms.

[Allucard]

Yeah I forgot how amazing he was in his prime. He fought everyone and made them all look bad. Win or lose, they looked bad at some point against him. If he had a lot of power he would be right up there with Robinson for greatest of all time.

I can think of someone more recently who had just as good yet different defense adding power. Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[clemente]

hector macho camacho was pretty sick when it came to defense.

[Dynamite76]

Debatable, probably Starling, Whitaker, and Benitez, maybe Curry.

[Thread Stealer]

Willie Pep, he won a round without throwing a punch

Apparently that's a myth.

It was supposed to be against Graves, but the news reports said they both threw a lot of shots in that round.
