    Who do you have? Regardless of how you feel about his time at heavyweight, I'll start with James Toney.

    Illegally clinching and holding isn't a sign of great defence.

    You can't keep grabbing a guy to stop him working and thats how Wlad avoids getting hit.

    Outside of bear hugs , he has no defensive qualities whatsoever.

    You know I agree with you about wlads clinching but the fact is it prevents him from getting hit and the thread starter wants to discuss defensive heavyweights

    Anyways in a few years it will be universally accepted that Tyson Fury has the best heavyweight defence ever

    You must never have seen a prime Tyson or Larry Holmes.

    Or Ali.

    Wladimir Klitschko.

    He is also an offensive machine.
