    This thread can't be kosher, anyway I'd say Floyd.

    Pep=Fought in **** poor era. An era when boxers kept their lead hand at their hips for ****s sake:patsch

    Leonard=Go watch the Duran fight to see how this defensive "genius" gets owned by a pressure fighter.

    Benitez?:rofl

    McCallum=:rofl

    Sweat pea=Offensively very good but defensively inferior to Floyd, who I think is over-rated anyway.

    Toney=Decent, better counter puncher than both void and sweat pea, but defensively inferior to them both. Poor mans version of the philly shell

    RJJ=:rofl Yeah, which is why he got knocked out by Tito and why Calzaghe slapped him like a *****

    Hopkins=Watch Calzaghe slap him around then humiliate him

    When was the last time anyone won a round against Vitali? (while Vitali did NOT have an injured arm).

    Vitali's defense is overrated.

    Briggs in his prime couldn't win with Botha, and Arreola wasn't able to land anything serious on former LHW Adamek.

    Vitali defence is mostly based on his reach and height advantage. It is a pity today it was more than enough for most of his opponents. Still, there were a couple of them that were able to deal with it (Sanders before runing out of gas, Lewis, or Chisore when he finally woke up).

    If he had such great defense, why did Lennox rip his face off?
