    I'd go with Locche, more fluid for me and threw more

    Ya i mean he was a lot most elusive in the pocket than mayweather, referees also didn't really protect him either

    Threw more with his lead hand but used his right hand to guard his chin mostly, John Conteh was similar in that way, mainly relied on his lead hand but didn`t really block much with his right.

    Pure defense, yes.

    Mayweather was the overall more effective, and greater, fighter.

    It's basically like comparing who is better puncher - Tyson or Louis. Pointless, both are amazing.
