Who have the best Defense in boxing?

[tliang1000]

This one is funner and better since there are not as many defensively sound fighters. I can actually fit the most obvious ones on 10. Why and Vote! Active boxers of course...

[King Dan]

Vote where?

And it's who has the best offense/defense, not who have.

[warrior85]

prob mayweather

[Chert]

prob mayweather

yep. i don't like the guy but i have to admit that pbf does have the best defense.

[warrior85]

yep. i don't like the guy but i have to admit that pbf does have the best defense.

same here i cant stand him,but the guy is hard to hit.

Still gotta say Hopkins. He doesn't get hit for squat. Taylor didn't land nothing clean in both their fights. Tarver didn't land nothing. Wright got in shots but nothing hard. He might not look pretty making people miss but he does it better than any IMO. He's just the best boxer out there and sees everything.

Winky lumped him. His beard is amazing though, when he fought Echol and Echol caught him a hail mary haymaker and he was only staggered for 1.5 sec.

What do you mean by "lumped" him?

[jimmie]

Id go with Mayweather.

[Jorodz]

i'd have to say mayweather NOW but i'd rate jones and toney above him in their prime. at supper-middle, jones and toney were untouchable: jones because of his speed and toney because of his nuances and subtle shifts of the body. bhop is good but he still gets hit by most guys not named taylor. at the moment, mayweather is simply too fast to get hit. even on the ropes he's a dynamo

[cpnasty]

Why is Oscar on this list??

[VIP]

mmmm...probably Mayweather. Hopkins is up there too though. Haven't seen much of Caledron so can't comment. Jones, Toney great defense in their hey days but are both past their prime and more hittable than ever. Winky great defense as well but has opted for a more offensive game in recent fights.

gave him a lump on the right head...

[Lostmykeys]

I voted Hopkins because I knew Mayweather was gonna win anyways and wanted to give my boy some props.

[klion22]

gave him a lump on the right head...

Wright was off-balanced all fight long. He was never allowed to plant and throw like he usually throws his jab. Hopkins made Wright reach for his jab like never before. And the ones that landed had ZERO power on them. And he made Wright miss so many right hooks it's not even funny. Hopkins made Wright look like a C class fighter IMO. He countered beautifully with the right hand leads.

I think Mayweather is just as good as Hopkins but i gotta give my boy some love.

[freddy-wak]

alot of those guys dont belong there cause RUNNING is not defense....

when i think of defense, i think of james toney, floyd mayweather, and winky wright....
somebody that can stay in the pocket, make you miss, and still punish you hard.....

[Saltzy]

Gotta be Hopkins, he rarely gets hit clean and seems to take every fighter out of his game. A few years back would have picked James Toney

[brooklyn1550]

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

[Ramshall1]

HAS. . . . its Who HAS the best defense. . .

[Alo2006]

Mayweather :good

[Word2ThaFive]

Mayweather
Wright
Hopkins

in order.

:good

That is the correct answer right there.....cant believe this vote is so one sided.

[.trunzx]

James Toney in his prime was pretty hard to hit clean.

[Asterion]

1. Mayweather

2. Hopkins
3. Toney
4. Wright

[bumdujour]

NONE OF THOSE MENTIONED!!!

its obviously felix sturm!!!

he just dont sign the contract to fight someone whos for real. if you dont sign the contract, you cant get hit by the guy you duck.
if he cant hit you, he cant hurt ya.

ask angelo dundee..

[hellblazer]

PBF no doubt.

[jaycuban]

no way, winki wright takes this by far

Don't get me wrong. Hopkins is one of my faves but he does not beat Floyd in terms of defense he is close. Mayweather fought much quickier guys than Hopkins and barely gets hit flush. If Mayweather pot shots it is extremely hard to catch him period.

[LogDog69]

Just the fact that Hopkins hit him more than he hit Hopkins in their fight puts him behind Hopkins

[Lakris]

Kessler!

[Dorfmeister]

I think that based on common sense, clear evidence in mostly known and seen fights, there is no reason to believe Floyd's reflexes, mobility and defensive strategy can be bested by anyone at the moment... Poisoned kinda apple this thread looks to be, the author already knew what would be the likely answer...

[HauntingTheHoly]

Kessler!

Manny Pacquio!!

[klion22]

r u fuking kidding, didnt u see his face, his fucking eye, it looked like he got hit several times by a baseball. man u whack

What fight are you referring to?
