    Besides Floyd, who are the best defensive fighters today?

    Not a lot of fighters stand out today when it comes to defense besides Floyd

    Wlad is up there though and so is Andre Ward IMO and of course Hopkins



    what y'all think?

          Kermit. He will jump outta the ring or put on an Oscar winning performance as his defensive move. On a serious note fighter who cover themselves Winky, Sturm, Abraham and Clottey. Plus Khan who box well.

            yea Dirrell Upper Body Defense is decent, but his defense is running around the ring, not sure if i count that though, i like to think of guys who know what to do when they're toe to toe with someone and either gotta block, move there head, step aside , Dirrell just literally starts jumping around the ring ...

              Well, Ivan Calderon was pretty good and so was Cristian Mijares. Omar Narvaez and when he sticks to a defensive fight Andre Ward.

                Don't forget the great Khaosai Galaxy, the best defensive fighter of all time.

                    I don't know about defensive but these fighters don't get hit cleanly that much outside of maybe 1-2 fights. I guess I would call them elusive.

                    Nonito Donaire[he's improving too]
                    Joan Guzman
                    Guillermo Rigondeaux


                    That's all I can think of, other than the one's already mentioned.
