    How you think he beat marquez and avoid getting his head knocked off by manny in the first fight

      Margarito, George Foreman, Old Ali, Fraizer, Pipino Cueavas Araon Pryor, I think when he moves up in competition Deontay Wilder, Carl Froch Brandon ( Punching Bag) Rios Nonito Donaire exposedHis only defense to date was fight little guys come down from 140 to fight at 118 122

        yah bradley has very good defense ONLY when he chooses to fight smart and not try and be a macho man in the ring.

        he's the only person i've seen make pac miss a 10 punch combo while on the ropes.

          froch did some subtle things with his defense. he wasn't a defensive wizard, don't get me wrong, but i think it's overstated when people say he had bad defense. his main defense was having long arms, and being able to hit you when you couldn't hit him. he also tucked his chin very well. he'd roll right hands, and even if he didn't duck under a left hook, he'd take it high on the head and roll it.
          Spot on, man.

          Froch's defence, or supposed lack of, is greatly exaggerated.

            I agree.

            His chin is very good but not as amazing as people say, however his defense is better than people give him credit for.

              Frazier used good upper body movement. Ali said a few times that Frazier was not easy to hit.

              In the 3rd round of their fight in Manila, Joe slips about 25 straight punches from Ali.

                  Rid**** Bowe's defense on the outside was poor.

                  "Terrible" is a big overstatement, but Hagler's defense from 1984-on took a big nosedive. It went from "solid" to "average".
