No he just watches video's without Bias, seriously I agree all those are better thann Floyd defencively.

Locche is literally light years ahead of Floyd in terms of defence.

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!

List of fighters defensively better than Floyd off the top of my head.

Willie Pep
Pernell Whitaker
Ivan Calderon
Nicolino Locche
Wilfred Benitez
Georgie Benton
Bernard Hopkins

Ivan Calderon is a great/ underated fighter but his so called GREAT defense is from moving all the time, which I can't blame him because he is a little guy and doesn't pack a good punch

Defense and Counter punching go hand in hand and from what I've seen, Locche ain't as good as Floyd. I don't even know who Benton is, so I'll check him out, B-Hop is up there also, in his prime dude was a beast, he'd go in rip you apart and still not get hit. He did it against Echols, Johnson, Mercado II etc...

All in all, great list of defensive fighters

How am I being unrealistic? Some of those fighters have been staggered, hurt and stopped. Floyd has been wobbled badly once against Corley. He has never been stopped, never clearly KD and is extremely difficult to catch with a clean punch.

top 3 all time. he's only been hurt once in his whole career and that was against Demarcus Corley who he later dropped twice

[hammerhiem]

Locche was so good defencively he made a guy Quit because he couldn't hit him, not some tomato can neither, Takeshi Fuji was a seriously good fighter.

Funny thing is, I agree with Whitaker being in the top 3 but dude has been dropped atleast 10 times

[Shadow boxer 3]

beleive it or not but Floyd and James tony hav similar defense. they both us the shoulder roll to avoid, slip, and duck punches.

I saw a HL on him on youtube, his defense was GREAT but notice the hand speed of his opponents, slow isn't it?
