Who currently is the best at cutting off the ring?

[Bushidō]

Ricky Hatton but he has no defense so i understand why he's not mentioned. No one but Castillo has cut the ring off as well as Hatton did to Mayweather.

Also check out how he cut the ring off against Pacquiao, although he got TKO'd for his wack defense he had Pacman trapped a couple of times in just 1 round.

I didn't include Hatton cause I assumed hes retired.

[Joe2608]

Cotto when he's on form.

[TxHustla]

I think Cotto is one of the best at cutting off the ring when he chooses to.

yup..he shows high ring generalship for real..smart smart fighter.

Margarito did a good job at chasing his opponents down. I used to love how he jogged leisurely towards them if they so much as hinted at a desire to start backpedalling. Humberto Soto does it, too.

But yeah, I'll second catalinul in saying that Katsidis is one of the best at cutting off the ring right now. He's lost that temporary gun-shyness which plagued him for 3 fights after the Casamayor loss, and now his confidence is back.

Providing he keeps working at improving his defence, his opponents will have to be damn good counterpunchers to stand a chance of winning against this madman.

Lets hear it

After watching numero Uno again, Marquez may be the worst.

Castillo was very good at it. Hopkins does it well late in the fights when he actually wants to press.

But overall, it is definitely a lost art.

Michael Katsidis is possibly my least favourite active fighter.

I don't want to see him permanently hurt, but....
