How would you describe a "slick" fighter?

[-GDS-]

I hear it being thrown around a lot, so I just have to ask, how would you describe a slick fighter? What are the characteristics of one? What high level fighters would you call slick today?

[o0P4PBOXING0o]

Guy's with good defence and speed who can throw combinations well.

Floyd Mayweather/Prime Roy Jones Jr = Slick fighter

Miguel Cotto/Manny Pacquiao = Exact opposite

[PH|L]

Someone who uses head and upper body movement to make his opponents miss.

[Suckmedry]

A guy who has good reflexes and upperbody movement which makes guys miss or have trouble landing clean on the target area.

Floyd, Calderon, Toney etc

[Sweet Jesus]

Movement. Slip. Movement.

Throwing combination has nothing to do with being slick.

BTW alot of people haven't seen taht fight but Sasakul was a very good and very slick fighter who was WBC and lineal champion at 112. Pacquiao wore him down and knocked him out.

That was Pacquiao's first title. The rumour that he's never fought an elite slick fighter in his prime is just a myth.

So for most people, it's all in the defence?

All that is very true....

But, to your last part. Some posters on here a very few minority think slickness means African American... That is why some people think Zab Judah is slick...
