    Who do you think has the best defense? I know that Floyd is way more ranked as a fighter and he has been a lot more exposed BUT... when we look at defense and boxing skills, we got to give Calde some props too... He usually fights way bigger guys than him and still undefeated.

    Discuss...

    NOt discussion here. Caderon is my favorite fighters. I prefer watching him than Cotto or Floyd. But they are completely different categories and should not be compared. PERIOD.

    In the art of boxing? the sweet science of hit and not get hit? why we shouldn't compare?

    I'd wager that Floyd gets hit far less often than Calderon.

    Not to take away at all from Calderon, as he is amazing in often facing larger opponents. Sometimes much larger.

    I agree... and the reason I give him a little bit more props is becasue of that... he faces larger opponents.

    Calderon pays more attention to defense than Floyd. The guy is constantly on defensive mode. He ducks, he moves away, he moves his head, hardly uses his gloves to block punches. Fighters can't beat him because they can't land a glove on him.
     
  7. Ivan just got KD'd in his last fight by a ****ing nobody.

    Floyd is the master. end of discussion.
