    Kevin King Pin Johnson must be one of the defensive/boring ATGs since he survived Titali's monstrous onslaught without looking like he was in trouble.

    Art Swiden. He pissed off fans and fighters alike. Even in sparring he was reviled, Rocky Marciano and Billy Conn both giving him strong words after sparring sessions.

    Bruce Seldon had a pretty good defence, he went the whole fight with Tyson without Tyson even laying a glove on him.
