Best active defensive fighter not named Mayweather?

Ward

 

Cool I'll watch the darchinyan fight....i love to see slick defensive moves with beautiful counterpunching...and the less holding the better!

 

Kelly Pavlik, and Carl Froch are the best at Blocking punches with there Facedeal

 

All day. He is an amazing fighter floating right under the radar. People who like sharp defensive Boxing REALLY need to check this guy out. :deal

 

At the elite level,I have to pick Ward. I was so impressed with his stomach for battle during the Froch fight.

 

Margarito

Seriously though, Hopkins.

 

Is that Pavlik in your avy and your dissin him

 

i had to make a funny because thats what everyone says about him. I disagree, i think Kelly has under-rated defense, but is no where near at the top!

yes that is the Ghost in my pic!

 

That guy is Pavlik's biggest fan and who cares anyway? Who is that in your avy?

 

:rofl

 

ahh thats cool i was jus jokin anyway....in mine i dont kno, i aint got a clue where i found this pic not worth changing tho

 

I'd say Rigondeaux has even better defensive skills than Mayweather at this point

 

dawson has very good defensive skills when he needs it, when he finds his range hes quite difficult to get at

and ivan calderon (not sure if hes still active due to the whole cocaine scandal) deserves a shout too

 

Ward and Hopkins. It's also worth mentioning that neither are standout defensive fighters in a historical sense at this point, which speaks toward the quality of the current scene.

 

Hopkins IMO. He is of course getting tagged these days because he is so bloody old, but he has crazy know how. Wlad on second place.
