I have James toney at number one: a sparring partner of his once said "he dedicated himself to a life of violence to be that calm and slipprier than butter and twice as slippery as grease."
My memory goes back to the winky Wright days: his guard was a solid impenetrable force. From his elbows to the tips of his hand open, nothing was scoring. Also had a hell of a chin when Shane hit him clean.
Then there was sweet pea, which I didn't have the pleasure of growing up with. Pernell Whitaker is obviously one of the greats.
Fast forward to Mayweather, all that bobbing and weaving **** used to tire his opponents out like what he did to Hatton. Then his second line of defense was that ****** arm. He used it as a barrier to keep opponent s away pushing his elbow in their face. Also the shoulder roll right hand counter toneyesque style and the chin tucked behind the left shoulder. What a defensive stud man! The way he beat Pacquiao was boring yet effective. Just remember, Floyd was pretty old at that time as well causing him to fight at a reserved pace in a fight that coulda went both ways!
Then there's two guys like Cory spinks and zab Judah both southpaws both very slippery. Zab was a frontrunner in the Floyd fight meaning he won the early rounds. Now Corey on the other hand was a natural fighter. He said when he started boxing there was not much they could teach him. He already knew.
Now who else belongs on this list. Obviously it's a short list with most of it off of memory to serve me correct.
Now who else was better than sliced bread when it comes to slipriest? And don't say guys like Gatti or ward out of respect for their warrior mentality.
