    Top 5 at least. Arguably the best ever imo.

    Anyone know what the stats say? He has to have one of the lowest connect % against him in history right?

    To all those who think Floyd is top 5:

    The ATGs I named all proved their defensive abilities against other defensive masters. Floyd has only fought one defensive master in Juan M. Marquez, and in that fight Floyd (the bigger man) inexplicably fought on the back foot, forcing Marquez to be the aggressor for 12 rounds.

    Floyd looks great against slow plodders. Put him in the ring with Erislandy Lara and we'll see who the defensive master is.

    He also fought a good defensive fighter in Augusta and he didn't do we well. But his defense is the best, you can't hit something that doesn't want to fight you.

    Toney's defense and chin held up amazingly well at CW & HW.

    He is very close to the No.1 spot.

    What makes your defence better is when you use it for offence like Pernell and Toney did.

    Yeah

    Sweet pea and toney are tops for me

    KFC is no scrub
    But Castillo did a number on him

    He didn't fight the top dogs
    He didn't fight an undefeated nunn at his prime and knock his ass out

    He didn't school a prime de la Hoya and get robbed on the cards

    His best win is a semi retired shot to **** de la Hoya

    KFC doesn't deserve anything, he's a coward

    Great defense. In my opinion better than most of the guys (if not everybody) mentioned in the thread. However, Rigondeaux' defense is better than his. Also, there are/were a couple of Cubans with unbelievable defensive abilities although they are all known for their extremely good defense throughout the history. Anyway, in my opinion, Floyd's defense is better than those of the old-timers mentioned in the thread. From the recent fighters, Pernell Whitaker was really good, but not as good as Floyd in my opinion.
