    Floyd Mayweather and also Bernard Hopkins have outstanding defensive skills. Can you name any other fighters with defense ?

    You on about current fighters? If so, Ivan Calderon is something else. His defensive skills are incredible.

    Winky Wright - his displays against Mosely were immense.

    - This one sided domination got me interested in the skill aspects of boxing, and fighting in general.

    - These Winky performances were nothing short of phenomenal.

    Wladimir Klitschko :)

    If you measure defence skills by how often a fighter gets hit... He almost doesn't get hit at all... You can argue if it's skills or tactics, but the result counts...

    Wilfredo Benitez - they didn't called him "El Radar" for nothing. Sugar Ray Leonard said that fighting him was like fighting in front of the mirror

    Jack Johnson - arguably the best defensive HW ever

    Willie Pep - for many the best defensive fighter ever

    Nicolino Locche - best defensive fighter I ever saw. Watch his 15 r shutout against great welter Antonio Cervantes - magic
