    Archie Moore could pull off the role well when it suited him. He wasn't always a laid back counter-puncher.

    A weird mention, unusual , I know, but I think Al Zamora was capable defensively, very good head movement, fast footwork, high hands, shoulders up for more protection.... ......I´m not saying he is great or something like that, but he is underrated defensively.....

    Good display against Villegas:

    Gomez in his prime is maybe the best example I've seen.

    Some of the moves he pulls off against Yum are just incapable of being surpassed:

    Yeah, Gomez is a great mention !!

    In my opinion, Raul Macias is a good example as well.....but it is difficult to say because of the lack of footage......

    He was very hard to hit cleanly during his prime
