    which Boxers are more open defensively

    which Boxers are more open defensively i think Carl Froch is one of the worst he leaves his hands down by his waist and his chin in the air luckily for him he has been fighting dead bodys up untill this point

    Froch ,Witter ,Khan,Haye are awfull defensively and wide open for punches Witter is wide open but at least he has a decent chin the rest either dont or in Froch case they have not been tested yet

    Hatton could easily go on that list aswell

    Cotto has holes, Mosely at his age keeps his head still for the most part, Margarito doesnt know what defence means

      If you're talking active boxers I'd say margarito. I haven't seen any popular margarito fights besides the golden johnson fight where he didn't get hit a lot. Miranda tends to get the **** punched out of him. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way.

      Gatti is the p4p greatest punching bag ever. I've yet to see anyone get hit more than him.

        Hatton can be quite evasive but has a tendency to suffer from a rush of blood and start walking into stuff.

              Is it just a coincidence that the boxers you listed are British?

                okay here way go starting from #1

                #1 andrade...the dude is a robot and doesn't care if he gets hit, period. he could sprint into a punch and take it well. personally, I think he's a bad mother****er. his chin alone got him on a ppv card.


                #2 duddy...punches with a weak guard/fails to move his hands back up and over commits to his punches without bringing hands up quick enough and just gets caught

                #3 lacy...if you punch from angles, this man is so vulnerable to any kind of attack

                #4 wladimir klitschko is very open defensively but utilizes offense and footwork to offset using a guard to protect against punches. it seems to be more effective than a guard-based method against certain opponents, but you have to train harder for footwork and offense to make having a guard non-necessity. guys who box like this usually have been knocked out a time or two in their career just like klitschko, i've noticed.

                  Surely you are joking about Klit? Not many fighters gets past those long arms and that rapier-like jab. It's very rare to have a HW champ who gets hit as little as Wlad does.
