Is Floyd the best defensive fighter ever?

  1. I think Rigo's defense is actually better than Floyd's. Rigo only gets dropped because his chin is made of wet noodles.

    No it's not Rigo has been dropped plenty of times and gets hit alot more. Rigo has good defense but it's nowhere as good as PBF's

    Benitez clearly doesn't rank ahead you're being silly by saying this. Pea, Pep and PBF are in the same class. Benitez is a clear level below.

    True but not many fighters could be expected to have the footwork and agility to out box and out position Mayweather.

    I'd agree that in close Toney was better defensively but he lacked the ability to use his feet and control range as a form of defence like Mayweather could. So Mayweather was better defensively from a distance but Toney better in mid and close range.

    Pernell Whitaker. He was also very entertaining doing it, that's a plus in my book.

    Pea would be called every name in the book with runner being the most used name.

    Yes he is. And the reason is that he is multi dimensional. He can do it both on the inside and outside.

    you do know this is your opinion that holds just as much weight as boxing clowns opinion, in reality that's true but it's not really true. boxing clown is in his own realm

    Sumbu Kalambay has the best defense I've seen. Herol Graham and James Toney are up there too.
