Besides Floyd, who are the best defensive fighters today?

[The Gambler1981]

B-Hop easily.

Lots of guys rely on defense that involves being completely out of range or covering up both of which leave guys out of position to make things happen. Hard to call that good defense

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..

That fight was on Showtime a few years ago right? I think I remember it, Dirrell towered him and still decided to run lol. And you know, I think Dirrell has all the tools to be a very good defensive fighter, if you watch the Abraham fight (before he got on his bike in the later rounds) he was standing toe to toe with Arthur and using very good defensive skills.


lol I would love to see a bob and weaver in today's era.

When all is said and Don... Vitali's punch stats look as lopsided as Floyds. What are we arguing here.. effectiveness or prettiness? because tehre are several defenses that try to look pretty but punch stats say otherwise.

Solomon (RJJ clone) and Broner (Mayweather clone) for example. But their punch stats show that all the posing isn't doing them any favors.

The nthere are the ugly defenses like Vitalis, and punch stats show he's probably the second most effective fighter defensively in the world today.

Moreno, though, has an incredible set of skills. It's like watching P will sometimes. Gamboa has great head movement as well and with his hands down, martinez manages to avoid a lot of countact.
