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

[GoldenGloveLove]

I didn't even know Robinson was supposed to be in that conversation but I have no problem with Floyd being considered #1 defense. He's the most focused, consistent, efficient defensive fighter I know.

[Pretty Boy32]

Floyd had it the best, easily

[N/A]

I just feel there's more he could have done to cement himself as one of the greatest.

Mayweather is the #1 pound for pound fighter of all time according to Boxrec. How much more did you want him to do?

[Dontbeahater]

People always hate Floyd but his peak was higher than sweet pea and his consistency over the past 30 years is unmatched even compared to atg like sugar ray, Hagler, Chavez.

If Floyds hands werent so brittle, Im sure he would have tko more fighters.

And Floyd has mastered multiple defensive postures all from orthodox.... Every single fighter he fought had a plan to beat him until Floyd showed them that its almost impossible to execute against him.
You go too aggressive, he has the Philly shell.
You want to box, he will put on a clinic.
I'm trying to think of someone who out boxed Floyd ever. I've seen mosley rock him and Castillo was a good fight but can't name one fighter in Floyds Era that could have been him.

Seriously.... Who could beat Floyd at his prime p4p? Only Rjj for me and that's because you couldn't t win for Rjj offense. It was like a pitcher who throws 105 mph

He has it all from a defensive standpoint.

He is quick and precise with his footwork
He has insanely fast reflexes
He is disciplined with keeping his chin tucked and his right hand up while he jabs
He has the technical skills, like the shoulder roll and the clinch
He is a punishing counter puncher even if his power is long gone
He has the knowledge
He doesn't get rattled

And when you actually do catch him with a good shot, his chin holds up. Ask Zab or Mosley.

--- TUE best defense was the Vegas commish, USADA, and Bayless, Cortez, Byrd, ect along with his Vegas judges.

Seen him whooped too many times to think his def was any good unless you count running.

[Pretty Boy32]

Nobody could argue this

[pasawayako]

If too much hugging and running is defense then i have to agree.

[Pretty Boy32]

If too much hugging and running is defense then i have to agree.

Drug addict rapist poochio couldn’t get near him

Drug addict rapist poochio couldn’t get near him

you're talking about floyd right? Drug addicts family, womwn beater etc... LMAO.

Relax bro. I'm just agreeing with u. Too much Hugging and running is part of his defense and floyd showed it in the ring.
