Defensive Wizards Who Aren't/Weren't Slick

Winky wright...

He basically had abnormally long forearms and behind high guard be able to block stomach to the head, and he just used it as a shield coming forward behind the long jab.. Guys were able to land on him if they stayed busy and threw more looping shots to go around the high guard.
Winky never made guys whiff air like floyd or pernell

Came in to post this.

You know whats funny is Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. had great defense and he was by no means slick. People used to talk about his iron jaw but the man wasnt walking around with his chin out or walking into punches like Brandon Rios or Margarito. Chavez used his shoulders to roll and slide punches along with great head movement on the inside.

He was slick, he ducked and weave also slipt punches

Brandon Rios comes to mind

Joshua Clottey wasn't a Wizard but it was hard to land clean on him behind that turtle shell guard. Never seen him look busted up in a fight.

first dude that came to mind, mostly becuyse of how awkward he was.

wasn't very coordinated, even for a giant, but for some reason he was rarely, if ever hit. i think part of it came with the coolness that you'd develop knowing that your chin was made of straight up stone, and you were basically never the smaller guy in any situation.

his brother had to tie people up to feel safe. vitali just felt safe all the time. and that's taking into consideration that his brother had more athletic talent in his left hand than vitali did in his entire body.

Vitali is a natural fighter..he grew up having to be the BIG BROTHER and defense Wlad..so he developed more of a toughness and it showed in the ring

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

brandon rios catches most of the shots on his gloves but to the untrained eye (casual) they will say he just comes forward and eat shots.

James toney I wouldnt necessary call slick either but had one of the best defense imo.

[dookie]

James Toney with his ability to slip punches in the pocket. I wouldn't call him slick.

[IronDanHamza]

James Toney definitely isn't slick.

But then again, his defense is very overrated. I wouldn't call him a "defensive wizard"

[PivotandRoll]

James Toney not slick and not a defensive wizard......NSB.....
