    L. Peterson is pretty good, not excellent, but good enough to get inside on an opponent solely off of it, since he barely jabs his way in.

    Benitez was the first who ever came to mind believe it or not, I just decided to focus on the very recent fighters for the quality of the footage, you know?

    Floyd and Rigondeaux are better at ducking punches than Ward. Ward ducks, gets close and holds before the punch is even thrown lol. I'd say Dirrell is also better than Ward at dodging punches because he has better reflexes.

    Yeah, I was waiting for some moron to come in here and pathetically fail at humor with the generic "duck" jokes. I figured it would be Manny or Mayweather mentioned too, since it's the first thing that would come to mind for an unoriginal moron.

    I haven't watched too many of his fights, if you would tell me any specific rounds of fights to watch, I'll be happy to check him out.

    Thanks, these are the kind of responses I'm looking for :)

    Simply awesome, is he good at setting up his offense utilizing ducking though? That's mainly what I'm looking for.

    Yeah he holds alot, but he is ****ing amazing at ducking. He has a short reach at only 71 inches, so it is a necessity for him to be able to get inside, which he is incredible at. Against Mikkel Kessler, he literally ducked about every power shot the guy could throw.

    The key is them setting up their offense with ducking... Pernell is just getting away from the punches there...

    Floyd clip is irrelevant, he is rolling those punches, not ducking.

    Hmm not consistently, Floyd is the best in that department.

    Contemporary:

    Lomachenko and Floyd.But Lomachenko's defense is more based on ducking punches, and some people can argue that Mayweather's defense is more based on ducking boxers he he he...
