    Hopkins has really good defense, but Floyd is the #1 defensive fighter of this era. (especially when it comes to challenges)

    :lol: I suppose if you don't get in the ring you can't get hit, can you?:). All jokes aside, it has to be Floyd!!

    Floyd. But if you are counting "active" fighters way past their prime...you have to give props to Toney and Byrd.

    Floyd's the best. I think Winky should be on the list as well.

    This was easy Mayweather by far and Hopkins 2nd, with everyone else way behind. Im a big Marquez fan but he gets hit more than use to,still cagey and excellent boxer but gets hit more than he use to. Im not impressed with Abrahman defense its alright i guess but any one who voted for his defense over Mayweather or Hopkins is a complete Idiot or a hater. Toney should be on here,even if he is old and out of shape. WTF? what about Ivan Calderon? I know theres a few other guys that should be on this list,but dont come to mine right now. Chad Dawson,Wlad, I also think Kahns Defense has sharpened up.
