    And guys like Winky and Ali, had been hit a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I haven't seen a lot of Calderon tbh, any particular fights you'd recommend?

    I put Ali down because in his prime he was extremely difficult to hit (although I think Henry Cooper might disagree lol!). He used to slip punches beautifully

        You havent see enough fights of Calderon, thats for sure. I dont blame you cause almost every fight calderon havent been televised on the States. But i assure you, he has better defense.

          Can you recommend some good fights which showcase Calderon's talent?

              When did Winky Wright become some defensive master? Sure his defensive shell is good but not great by any means. He gets tagged by everyone, elite fighters and lesser ones including Soliman and Candelo, for starters.
