The best defensive boxer ever?

He got overconfident against Louis and was caught by one of the best finishers of all time. Bad move.
Walcott was getting older against Rocky, I believe he was 39.
Jersey Joe looked very good in the fight regardless but lacked stamina at parts which made him go to the ropes and allowed Marciano to land some heavy body punches.
At the end Walcott had slowened down just enough for Marciano to land that big right named 'Suzie Q' which Rocky had been missing all night.
80% of the times when I look at old fighterz I cant see them being sucessful in this era but Jersey got skillz and would kick ass in this time . How many of his fightz can I download? I'm bout to check this dude out.Comment

Pep was a defensive genius from what I've heard and skill isnt limited to an era so he'd fit the 20% that would succeed.Comment

They are hard to find, but not impossible, mainly highlights though, not too many of his full fights are floating around.Comment

and vs Sandy which isn't to be judged cuz he was old. In those fightz I still didn't see anything that tod me he was GREAT defensive fighter rather then a good one.Comment

The earliest fight I saw of him was against Ralph Walton in 1945, Walton couldn't touch Pep, he was using his legs to move in and out, upper body movement to slip and duck punches and when Walton got inside on him, he'd spin out or clinch, it was very difficult to catch that man flush, even in his later years.Comment
