    I just haven't seen him fight very often.

    I've only seen him fight once. I've lost passion for the sport. If it's not on HBO, Showtime, or NBC, I probably haven't seen it.

    Without a doubt he's basic, but he fits the criteria better than say a Naoya Inoue or a Nicholas Walters.

    Ken Shiro looks the part but need to see him step up before really including him.

    Well the question isn't about an offensive-minded defensive wizard TJ, just who has the best defense among them.

    Like Duckkler said, it's somewhat subjective.

    Lomachenko clearly has the best defense and the best skills for any offensive fighter, but I'm not sure you can consider him to be a pure offensive fighter.

    I've seen him enough to know that he doesn't have the skillset that Lomachenko has.

    I think Lomachenko's amateur record alone may speak to that though.

    I'm not a casual.

    I'm just not a die hard fanatic. I don't have time to watch every fighter.

    There is opportunity cost in everything you do in life. If I spent my time watching guys like Roman on youtube, I wouldn't have time to talk **** and read about things that interest me.

    I have plenty of experience in boxing. I could still train a guy to be a great competitor. I know how to train in multiple styles, depending on opponents and I know how to utilize certain "moves" from experience that always work, at least once, depending on the intelligence of the other fighter.

    I just don't have the same passion I used to. Things change. These young kids don't understand the type of damage they're inflicting on one another.

    Sometimes it takes a significant injury before you have the wisdom for reflection.

    I am a Mayweather hater, but that's not necessarily because of him, it's because of the judges and the bogus punch stats associated with his fights.

    Also, I'm a huge Pacquaio fan. Regardless, I was willing to give Mayweather credit and was even convinced I didn't know what I was watching when I initially watched the fight.

    Then I happened to watch the rematch and I realized that even as I expected a Mayweather master class, that Pacquaio was winning and eventually won the fight.

    Golovkin is second only to Floyd in landing more shots than he takes. The guys saying Rigo need to look at how many times he gets hit so flush it puts him on his butt.

    Very few fighters are not offensive minded. Just about everybody is looking to hurt the other guy.

    Very few are bona fide defensive fighters.

    Yeah I'm tired. And didn't feel like thinking much. Can't be too far off though.
