Besides Floyd, who are the best defensive fighters today?

This just goes to show how many guys don't have the complete package as boxers...

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.

Did you see Sturm's last fight?

Also, although Abraham and Clottey use the peek a boo defense it's nowhere near as effective as a prime Winky's. Especially in Abraham's case who gets hit WAY too much and can't transition from defense to offense smoothly.

Dirrel had some really good upperbody movement.

He should be on the "elusive list".

I think elusiveness can count for defense. Blocking punches is not the only way to be defensive.

Andre Ward.

Miguel Vazquez.

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 ...

You know I was kinda thinking the same thing. Dirrell doesn't get hit a lot but I think it's more due to him being an athletic freak than him incorporating efficient boxing defensive moves i.e. the Froch fight.

Clottey as said already

Oh and Vitali Klitschko! I believe he's the least hit Heavyweight of all time or something to that effect.

(Lewis fight aside, lol!)

Clottey

Pirog

Bute

Hopkins

Also the Curtis Stevens Fight , that fight is up on YouTube u can check that one out, he just ran around the ring , i mean a W is a W , but at the same time it's a little frustrating to watch..
