    Definitely not Ali and SRL

    Bernard Hopkins
    Archie Moore

    Need excellent defense to last as long as they did

      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.

            Putting Canelo over Whitaker is what is truly laughable.

                  There was Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker, and then there was the rest
