Top 5 best defensive boxers ever ?

[WillieWild114]

I have Ali and James Toney,Mayweyher,Quawi and Ray Leonard in my top 5

[GrandpaBernard]

Definitely not Ali and SRL

Bernard Hopkins
Archie Moore

Need excellent defense to last as long as they did

[Silence]

Lol at Ali and SRL.

Mayweather
Locche
Canelo
Toney
Hopkins

I didn't add Whitaker because 90% of his defensive skills were foul.

Sweet Pea has to be in that conversation. Willie Pep and Benny Leonard too. Gene Tunney was a pioneer of a more defence based style also. Floyd and B-Hop from the modern era deserve consideration. Hard to reduce it to just 5 but those are the names that came to mind for me personally.

[HeadShots]

Saul Canelo Alvarez

[joseph5620]

Lol at Ali and SRL.

Mayweather
Locche
Canelo
Toney
Hopkins

I didn't add Whitaker because 90% of his defensive skills were foul.

Putting Canelo over Whitaker is what is truly laughable.
