    Now that Floyd Mayweather is retired or certainly has little left, he`s the best defensive fighter in the pocket in the modern game?

    Rigo I guess? He's very mayweather like, very similar in styles. Other than Loma he still has the ability to embarrass everybody in nearby divisions.

    One of Floyds victims, the ginger cheating Mexican Canelo, hes pretty damn good at standing in front of you and making you miss considering hes got a big head from all the substance abuse Oscar has forced down his throat.

    What about that Brit Josh Kelly? Maybe needs to do it at the top level but hes got some good matrix like defensive moves on him.

    Lomachenko stays in the pocket more than anyone else. Usyk and Rigo, even though neither run, both fire shots from the outside. Loma does most of his work at mid range and he stays there longer than Usyk or Rigo.
