Who Are The Best Defensive Fighters in Boxing Today?

[MPDKSAB]

I mean, just cause he got his ass kicked by a bigger dude doesn't mean Loma isn't the best defensive fighter. He is and by a wide margin.

I like Canelo and Fury both more, but, be fair, Loma's displayed higher caliber defense and probably wouldn't lose if he stayed in his lane. Dude's just got big britches. He's still excellent.

I don't like Canelo but I don't even see how you can have an argument for Lomachenko being better defensively on any level especially by a wide margin. Fury is not even in the conversation with them imo.

There doesn't seem to be many who spend most of the fight in the opponents punching range but still avoid being hit. Canelo is the most obvious, Loma also. Maybe Shakur is getting up there. People will laugh but I'm tempted to add both Tank and Golovkin; on account that they can defend well while remaining in punching range. The thing about those guys is they are so strong they usually don't have much fear of their opponents power, so occasionally just walk through. If they had be more careful I think they could. They remind me of Chavez Sr in that sense.

Absolutely not lol

Thank you, sir, as always. That's what I was gonna say. When your offense is your defense, being touched a little or buzzed here and there, is nothing. Folding your opponent is the object, not running around.

Compare Davis to Andrade.

What he said doesn't even make sense.

The object is to hit & not get hit.

There is no comparison in Davis to Andrade. You can't name 1 fight where Andrade ran from anybody.

Davis. 97% KO ratio, undefeated. Canelo is second.

The devil is a lie. You must be a big Tank fan if you believe that.

Shakur Stevenson & Saul Alvarez.

Everyone else is a distant second.

Boxing is a funny sport man lol.

A lot of people will question certain fighters competition but then I see some of the names get brought up on these "lists" & other names omitted.... Only 1 person put Andrade on their list in this thread....

But then you have this ⬇⬇
