    Sweet Pea Whitaker
    Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
    Roy Jones, Jr.
    James Toney
    Bernard Hopkins
    Winky Wright

    Ivan Calderon is a GREAT defensive fighter. I still think we haven't seen him fight a GREAT pressure fighter yet, but i believe that if defeats a GREAT pressure fighter he is for sure a defensive ATG.

    Ricardo Mayorga puts all of them to shame with with his slick skills.

    On a more serious note Pernell Whitaker is the best i've seen followed by Hopkins and then Mayweather.

    Toney gets so much credit, for in effect just being a fat ****er with a hard head.

    My top 3 defenders of this generation

    Whittaker
    Hopkins
    Floyd.

    Winky, well, he didn't really have the offensive to go with it.
