      Michael Watson was so pleasing at blocking punches. Dipping in low with those elbows to take the sting off of body shots, and having those hands up very high to protect his head. Very cool customer.

      Observe his defence in his fight with Benn for example. TedSpoon wonders if the word 'negate' was spawned from this showing...

            Herol 'Bomber' Graham was in a class of his own in terms of defensive wizardry.

              James Toney is the best defensive fighter I've ever seen only because he doesn't even use his legs as part of his defense. That's sick.

                I'll be quite honest with you....that's pretty correct. Because I don't consider using your legs a legitimate form of defense.

                But to take it even further...I think Winky is the best I've seen. Because not only does he not use his legs....he doesn't shy away from punches.

                He catches all of them on his arms and gloves.

                  Don't taking alot of punches on your arms take the sting out of your jab though.

                    Winky is a flat out tank.

                    I'll state it again....he might be the toughest fighter in boxing. Because he absorbs a tremendous amount of punishment from simply HUGE punchers....and doesn't stop pressing the action with his gaurd up and throwing.

                    He's something special. But in his case.....he doesn't need sting in his punches because he's a volume puncher.
