I think it's safe to say, Mayweather has probably the best defence in boxing history

[bballchump11]

I think he does. It is definitely the most versatile defense ever

[SugarRayCurtain]

well yea thats because he fights shorter guys most of the time where he can play backfoot and potshot with his longer reach
When did Floyd ever fight taller slick boxers who actually had good boxing skills themselves? He did well against certain styles.

Seriously you need a hobby the brown nose you write with has taken over your brain.

If you want to reference Mayweather as a highly qualified defensive boxer I have to agree but to define him as one of the "greatest fighter who ever lived" is absurd. He was a pure boxer and as a welter could not be labeled as a "fighter".
At 130 he could compete in the history of boxing but at 147 he doesn't break into the top tier of men by a long shot.

Fanboys are a disturbing group they want to live their lives through others, kind of sad!

I agree, he probably has the best defense in history of boxing, it wasn't just his shoulder roll his reflexes were insane.

True. His reflexes and footwork where special

The thread subject says he probably has the best defence in history, yet in the first post you claim he's head and shoulders beyond anyone else?

I doubt it tbh, anyone who gets rocked by a shot Shane Mosley shouldn't be in the conversation.

Solid post.
