    Top 5 p4p seems way too high. I think him doing well in opponent % landed has a lot to do with most of his opponents being terrified of him and even more terrified when they taste the power. They stop committing and stepping in and start throwing "please don't hurt me" shots from the back foot.

    Given the opposition he's had to fight before facing Jacobs , that numbers are to expected not praised.

    I'm a GGG fan and I wouldn't even imagine this in my wildest dreams, his defense is good enough when he chooses to use it and that's it.

    I wouldn't class Wilder as a 'top boxer' at all.

    Yep. People that think Golovkin is weak defensively don't know what they are looking at.

    In other news Max Baer probably wins this thread.

    Julius Indongo. He's like the light middleweight version of Wilder.

    lol! AJ gets hit a lot less than most heavyweights, he usually fights at a safe range with his right glove up.

    Great list. Frankly PAC has a similarly big disparity in how good his offense is compared to his defense.
