Pernell Whitaker was a defensive innovator

the young Tyson had awesome head-movement & barely got touched

Johnny Tapia didn't get hit square on the chin but maybe 2-3 times in his biggest match vs. Romero

Winky Wright's arm-D can't be penetrated

how about hagler?

[Kid Achilles]

Yeah, Hagler and Mickey Ward both come to mind immediately.

Not so sure about their chins though.

best defense is with out a doubt pernell whittaker the guy won 40 fights 23 by decesion and obviously you needed great D do win by decesion that much plus he never got koed in his career and outboxed a prime delahoya when pernel was on crack also roy jones had great defense even in his last fight vs tarver his d was decent he moved around like mj in a boxing ring if u kno what i mean
