        The least slick in your list is Bradley.

            slick is the art of hitting and not getting hit through a heavy reliance on one's reflexes



            slick comment

            and being wrongly labelled slick is when people confuse reflexes and skills with athleticism

              As Part of the OP you should define your definition Of *slick*

              But everybody calling Algieri slick is silly to me, he gets hit way to much to be slick in my book

                Yh I don't think his defense is bad by any stretch same with Algieri's, they're just not what I would describe as slick.

                I don't feel Bradleys footwork is very fluid or he is intelligent enough to be labelled ''slick'' he is easily drawn into a dog fight and when he does his balance is a mess as is his defense in general.

                When I think slick I'm thinking how efficient they move, lateral movement, their ring I.Q, not really a guy who can do a bit of everything and diverts away from his game plan the moment he gets tagged and starts using completely excessive upper body movement with no real purpose.

                  Many fighters have moments of slickness. Few fighters are slick all the time.

                  Is ginger Mexican Canelo slick?
