Greater Defense: Locche/PBF/Pea

[COACH WEBB]

Pea wasn't even prime here, but still sick.

[COACH WEBB]

More Pea

To answer, I'm more partial to Pea. But I won't argue with anyone that says Locche or Floyd.

[THE REED]

I'm partial to Floyd because there's more substance and textbook movement with his defense. Although Floyd still needs reflexes to perform the shoulder roll successfully, he doesn't need nearly the same amount to have the same successful defense as Nic or Pea.

Floyd for pure defense.

I like Floyd's defense more. You don't tell a kid trying to learn defense to look at Pernell and learn from him. You tell him to watch Floyd's defense, or Bernard's, or Winky's. It's just much more safe and fundamentally sound. Pernell's looks like some And1 Basketball type of stuff. It's just not something you tell a kid to copy. Fun to watch, but it's just not the type of defense you want some one to try, some one who's learning. If they want to try it once they learn the basics and understand how defense works, and they can pull it off, then they can try it. But as far as actually telling some one who's learning "look that's how you defend yourself" that would be laughable.

It's ok... luckily for Floyd, you're doing the rating.

Pea's overrated that's why he stammers now,he took a lot of shots so he was not as effective.
Locche was awesome
Floyd's good and to be honest I can't find a winner here.

I think they both got hit more than Mayweather.

That's down to Mayweather being much less active than them so you could say their defense is better because they throw a lot more punches and still get hit very little.

On the other hand out of the 3 I would say Mayweather does get hit the least. But again I'd say that's down to be much more selective with his punches.

I think that Mayweather gets hit less-if he really does- because he's going backwards, whereas the other two, Locche in particular, didn't use their feet so much to get them out of danger but relied on upper body and head movement only. Truly elusive. It has been suggested that Locche was very similiar to Young Griffo.
