    Are you missing anyone? You mean over the 100+ years of gloved boxing? Na. Doubt it.

    None of the three were anything close to being defensive artists but they all were worked hard with for the best defense their abilities allowed

    armstrong has much better defense than what he's credited for, so did tyson and marciano

    They were all worked hard with, the posts title though is defensive artists and none of them are close to that category.

    Duran has an ATG defense and it wasn't hidden to people who know what they're watching. He was slick as hell.
    Hidden defensive artists is a **** title. Subtle would be a better word. You can put Chavez in there he was subtle inside. Duran was slick to the eye and subtle with his defence so Duran belongs.
    Marciano, Armstrong and Tyson's defense wasn't hidden. They clearly used head movement as the main skill of their defense. Sure they had some subtle tricks too but hidden gtf with that ****.. Armstrong would drill in with his head close and low so it was hard to get him clean with anything. Even the uppercut.
    Again, Hidden defensive artists is a **** description of the guys you mention. Underrated would be better for Hank and Marciano but Tyson has always been noted for having very good technique and head movement in defense.

    Christian Bale in The Prestige? I was going to respond more in depth but the thread title was too dreadful to elicit much of a response. Shame because the premise, or at least what i think the premise was supposed to be not sure because of the unbearably incoherent title, interested me. Talk to you guys in a proper thread.

    P.S. If i place someone on ignore will it spare my eyes from having to read the title of threads they start in addition to their posts?
