Worst defense in boxing now

******* detected

lol what? Marquez use to have great defense in his younger days now he still has decent defense.


1.Margarito
2.Pacquiao
3.Kirkland
4.Rios (all he does is cover up & get hit)
5.Maidana

...Well I think Marquez is a legendary counter-puncher... but being a great counter puncher doesn't mean you have a great defense... Marquez was getting tested defensively often times by inferior fighters... Katsidis, Diaz..

I would say Shane Mosley definitely has a case for the worst defence in boxing right now.

Suprised he only has a handful of mentions.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Mosley hands down.

Paul Williams has better head movement than he does. When is the last time anyone ever missed Mosley? Like ever?

After Shane I'd say Lara, Williams, Margarito, Pacquiao, Kessler, K-9, Arce.

Margarito's defense stats are worst. Shane's isn't that bad or as least close to as bad as Margarito.

Berto makes Katsidis look like Willie Pep.

LMFAO!!!

I literally busted out laughing when I read this.

The first people that came to mind when I read the title WITHOUT looking at other people's responses:

1. Margarito
2. Katsidis

I can't think of anymore. I mean, we're talking about BAD defense, right? Not just slightly poor, the two guys I mentioned have NON-EXISTANT defense...this is a hyperbole, but it almost isn't. That's how bad their defense is.

Now that's a true punching bag.

As for the question I'd say Williams, Maidana, Katsidis or Margarito.

Pacquiao shouldn't be in the discussion.

I agree he has improved greatly and is nowhere near the worst in the sport.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I agree he has improved greatly and is nowhere near the worst in the sport.

I dissagree my friend. He has improved. His defernse still sucks though.

The Clottey fight was telling. Joshua landed whenever he actually wanted to throw and even slow Margarito got his bombs off. Hes not a good defensive fighter.

Naw, Manny's defense is underrated, but in terms of being top defensive boxers in the sport, he shouldn't be in the top five list.

Its not great its just ok now, much better than maybe in 05 or some time around there.

Still far from a top list of fighters with the worst defense.
