    I am going to be getting my video editing software installed again here shortly, and am getting back into making videos.

    I want to make some defensive showcases, and the first one I want to do is a compilation of ducking punches. I am still not convinced on who I'm going to use, so I thought I'd ask for suggestions. Keep in mind it will be of ONE fighter, and they need to be a recent fighter, because I want high quality footage.

    I'm thinking of using Andre Ward, or Hopkins. Ward seems the best at ducking punches that I have seen right now. Mayweather is good too, but tends to use blocking and rolling his shoulders more than ducking, which he usually reserves for only the very powerful left hooks.

    Vargas vs. Trindad was incredible, the way Vargas leaned and ducked most of tito's hooks. He lost alot of that after that fight I think but that was the single best ducking and evading punches I think I've ever seen, even with him getting caught alot and KOd eventually - He still made Tito miss a ton

    Canelo is not an option, that was the first fight he showed those defensive abilities.

    I'm also looking more for guys who are good at setting up the offensive off the ducking, Canelo tends to stop all his defense when he starts going on the offensive.

    I'm not looking for one particular fight, I'm looking for guys who have used it effectively throughout their fights.

    Andre Ward seems to be the best I've seen, can anyone top him, who has CONSISTENTLY been great at ducking punches?

    Yeah, unfortunately I can't use them, I want really high quality footage. Locche and Pep are right at the top when it comes to the all time best at ducking punches for sure though.

    Tyson before Douglas was amazing at ducking too.

    Looking more for very recent fighters, I am wanting very high quality footage.

    Possibly he is recent enough to use... His prime was quite long ago though.

    Andre Ward still seeming to be the best choice so far, expert at ducking punches.
