    nope the original slickster was Jack Johnson.

    Before JOhnson, white dudes were fighting Mexican style every fight.


    Then Johnson came and started using his defence. Got booed and sometimes didn't even get paid.

      Jack Johnson was a great fighter but he didn't fight in the modern style that the fighters you mentioned did. The closest guy to the styles you are referring to is Pep. There have been boxers, maulers, punchers, defensive specialists etc in every era. No one group has a monopoly on defensive boxing or any other style. It's a great marketing gimmick for the promotors though.

        These two haven't even fought common opponents which is frustrating.
        At least Pac and Floyd fought common opponents with pac beating them more dominant so people could conclude for themselves Pac was greater than floyd

          BJS vs Monroe Jr. or BJS vs Eubank Jr. are the most gangsta matchups of all time. Pure elite level 12 round bidness! Canelo never seen Southpaw slickness in his whole life!
