Who was the best defensive fighter ever?

[kymira]

Sweet Pea & Willie Pep

[Smokin'J]

Pernell from back then.

[Spacey1991]

Pep and Locche I hear were good but I aint seen much of them, Winky has a good defense and so did Whitaker, Floyd has a good defense too... I can't really say cause I haven't seen enough of Pep or Locche.

[Kevin Jesus]

I heard they would tie Willie Pep to a turnbuckle in the ring from neck to toe, and you still couldn't hit him.

Why no mentions of Hopkins or Toney?

[Eric Holder]

Pernell from back then.

Locche's defense was great

[street bully]

Pep. The only man not to throw a punch in a round and still win it.

Probably depends on who you like...Pernell's flashy unorthodox defense or do you prefer textbook defense...

And I don't believe Pernell was taught

Would all of you folks stop screaming Willie Pep and you never saw him. Lochhe looked pretty good but he is no Floyd or Whitaker. F**k the great white mystery Willie Pep.
