    alot of those guys dont belong there cause RUNNING is not defense....

    when i think of defense, i think of james toney, floyd mayweather, and winky wright....
    somebody that can stay in the pocket, make you miss, and still punish you hard.....

    Gotta be Hopkins, he rarely gets hit clean and seems to take every fighter out of his game. A few years back would have picked James Toney

    James Toney in his prime was pretty hard to hit clean.

    NONE OF THOSE MENTIONED!!!

    its obviously felix sturm!!!

    he just dont sign the contract to fight someone whos for real. if you dont sign the contract, you cant get hit by the guy you duck.
    if he cant hit you, he cant hurt ya.

    ask angelo dundee..

    Don't get me wrong. Hopkins is one of my faves but he does not beat Floyd in terms of defense he is close. Mayweather fought much quickier guys than Hopkins and barely gets hit flush. If Mayweather pot shots it is extremely hard to catch him period.

    Just the fact that Hopkins hit him more than he hit Hopkins in their fight puts him behind Hopkins
