I'd say Roberto Duran. He could stand so close and make you miss by a hair and then counter you hard, which is why I consider him the best ever. The others listed are great but they had to use a whole lot more movement to get it done while Duran did not.

... in fact, Bleacher Report had Duran at #24 in a "25 Best Defensive Boxers in History" article... tbh...
It is outright hilarious that people voted for willie pep when his last fight was in 1966. Everything we've read suggests he was an amazing defensive fighter, but unless you watched boxing from 1940-1966, I don't know how you can vote for him.
Welp, you can’t possibly know much when you only have Floyd’s butt hole on your mind 24/7.

In fact, the same Bleacher Report "25 Best Defensive Boxers in History" article has Sugar ray Robinson at #3, Floyd and Whitaker at #2 (ex equo), and Willie Pep at #1...
