the best defensive boxer has to be Floyd Mayweather. he hardly ever get hit. his defensive skills are the best. as a result of them he hasnt been beaten 39-0

I agree! But I think Whittaker was more complete in terms of what he did in the ring. Sweet Pea threw punches while playing defense. Mayweather would rather live and die by D.

Too many people judge PBF by what they have seen of his style at 140 and 147. In PBF's early fights at 130 and 135 he was aggressive and very offensive. PBF at those weights fought more in the pocket than he just flat out boxed from the outside. PBF actually sat down on his punches at those weights. Fighters need to be judge by their whole career not just late in their career. If a fighter has the skills their fighting style will change with moving up in weight which is what PBF did and allowed him to win at those higher weights.

Sweet Pea would have made Trinidad look like a jr. olympian amatuer if he would have fought Pea in his prime. Sweet Pea out of prime and on coke and Trinidad still couldn't hit Pea enough to get a KO. Trinidad did knock him down and thats it.

You trippin if you think prime for prime Trinidad has a chance against Sweet Pea.

not sayin Tito was da best but y u knockin him? he got a big heart, a big punch, some skill & jus lost to the very best fighters in his time...a very good boxer wit a solid jab will keep him honest but the fact is he fought & beat Pernell, not like delahoya(i had a draw)...

floyd mayweather's defensive subtleties put him slightly above whitaker, imo

and i havent watched hardly any willie pep so i cant say
