    The greatest's defensive boxers of all time?

    The greatest's defensive boxers of all time?

    I pride myself on my defensive and counter punching style (hitting whilst not being hit), using my footwork and speed. I was just wondering who you guys thought were the best defensive boxers of all time?

            I think winky wright has a alright defense....He comes forward sort of like micky ward with that peek a boo defense......I think hooks can get to him..

                  I love how the topic question just gets ignored.

                  He asked of all time, not today.

                  I find myself, as I always do concerning boxing history, agreeing with CPLE.
