    James "Hard Rock" green in his prime. About 5'3 with good defense. Nearly took out Mugabi when he was "the beast."

    Jack Dempsey. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Jack Dempsey who practically invented the 'bob and weave'?

    Dempsey he wrote the book on it, literally.

    I've had people tell me Dempsey had bad defense. lol. Yeah since all you ever see are clips of him swarming a hurt fighter. If he hurt you with a punch the next thing you would remember is you sitting on the canvas asking your trainer what the hell happened. But in between those times in the actual fight his bob and weave was sick.

    N. Benn’s bobs and weaves were a bit wild but effective.
