Slickest Boxer Ever?

The ultimate example IS Jimmy Young.

 

Young proved his defensive genius...gave us one more display of it...in defeat...in standing right in front of a towering, bomb throwing, peak Gerry Cooney...with blood pouring into his eyes..obscuring his vision,...and still he never got hit or hurt...came nowhere near going down. Needless to say how that bout would have resulted if Young hadn't gotten cut.

Wilfredo Benitez deserves a mention.....

 

I'll do you better: Arturo Gatti, Danny Lopez, and Matthew Saad Muhammad were clearly better slicksters.

 

All we need now is just 9 or 10 more like you.

 

This guy knows his slicksters.

 

What about Ray Robinson, Jose Napoles, Joe Brown, Carlos Ortiz, Tony Canzoneri, Lou Ambers, Barney Ross, Luis Rodriguez, Harold Johnson, Eder Jofre, Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott, Joe Gans to name just a few.

 

Pernell Whitaker

Mark, Your concept of "slick" and mine differ. Obviously, a matter of definition.
