How would you describe a "slick" fighter?

[PH|L]

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

Being able to counter off a missed punch in one single continuous motion adds to the slickness. Toney was the master at that.

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...

So in your opinon, Zab Judah didn't have the defense to be a true slick fighter?

No bro, he just had quick hands, he was flashy but not slick. He got hit too much to be slick... Malignaggi is not slick either. He gets hit just way too much... I wouldn't consider Collazo slick. But, I would consider him crafty... If that makes sense...

Flawless is a prime example.

I have even heard on here that Shane Mosley is slick... Really, what is slick about Mosley?

Slick to you is about not getting hit? Slick to me is about not trying to get hit. Some people just pull it off better than others.

Are there any top fighters today that you truely would consider slick, such as Bradley?

For me, "slickness" is mostly in movement, I'd consider Dirrell to be a slick fighter, slippery, smooth movements, slick.

Zab Judah has a little bit of slickness in him but he was never really that good a fighter. His handspeed was what made him competive at the elite level, not his slickness. He often TRIES to be slick though.

If you watch him against lower caliber opponents early in his career you can see he has the style of a slick fighter but its really his handspeed and power that makes him good not his slickness.

Yea I agree Dirrell can be a pretty slick fighter. Not cause he moves around the ring so much but because even when you think you have him in front of you he can slip and dodge punches and make you miss pretty wild. How many times did Froch and Abraham think they had Dirrell stuck against the ropes and open for a left hook just for him to lean back and have them swing wildly into the air. He's pretty slick.
