    Theres not gonna be many posters in this thread cause you know, everyone hates defense and loves brawlers. Only PBF, Winky & Hopkins fans will be in this thread.

    Endurance-Calzaghe. To be a good defensive fighter you have to think. When your tired you cant think. If you have endurance you dont get as tired and thus can think longer. Endurance.

    Willie Pep. Whitaker in terms of fighting off the backfoot. You don't actually need either one of these tactics if you're phenomenal at slipping, weaving, and rolling in close though. Watch Nicolino Locche.

    It's good. A lot of movement doesn't equal great footwork, but his is good, though he stands very much to the side. His spacing between his legs is good. I've seen better technically though.

    The best IMO:
