    And on topic, for sure he's up there, though there's one or two names I'd put with him defensively... few who did it with such grace though.

    RIP Champ.

      Floyd defense are his running and hugging technique. floyd can't be hit when he hug his opponent or run away from his opponent. lmao.

        I can’t think of any boxer that embodied hit and not get hit more than him.

        Robbed several times against opponents he was truest undefeated until Tito when he was far passed his best.

          Indeed.

          I drive through the middle of the city most days and i’d say at least twice a day, someone just walks out into the road looking at their phones. Luckily the traffic is usually pretty slow moving but they don’t even look to check, they just can’t look away from their phones.

            Rest well, King.
            If he would have had a better offensive attack to go with his defense, you bet he could have been. By his early 30's he was done, especially after the failed tests. Not sure what happened.

                  You left out the part where he stands in front of you & makes you miss AND you left out the part where he punches you in the mouth that keeps you off of him too.

                      Some boxers were like a Harlem Globe trotter, and did it for flash pay wouldn’t you agree? Showboating defense is a beautiful art in pugilism, and of course Whittaker was one of them. Mayweather wasnt a dare taker defensive showboater like Pernell or Nicolino. Floyd was just dope when he needed to be, A class, as Canelo’s defense now in his prime.

                      As a defensive risk taker Nicolino is an ATG. Overall boxer of course Nicolino isn’t a complete boxer like Pernell or Floyd or Canelo. Still, Nicolino was a badass defensive master.
