    This is a thread to appreciate the slick boxers out there and help define what a slick boxer is and grant the titles to current and up and coming boxers :rasta

    slick
    adjective
    1. smooth and glossy; sleek.
    2. smooth in manners, speech, etc.; suave.
    3. ingenious; cleverly devised: a slick plan to get out of work.
    4. slippery, especially from being covered with or as if with ice, water, or oil.

    So using this definition, a slick boxer is a "slippery" (hard to hit) smooth and clever style. Usually accompanied by a boxer style using a lot of head movement and/or footwork with a high ring IQ.
    And No you do not have to beat black to be slick

    The grand master of the style belongs to Mr. Sweet Pea

    If you want to go really old school, you'd have to give Nicolino Locche and Willie Pep a mention, those guys where as slick as they come.

    He didn't have the slick style to get them all the way to the ring.

    Hey thanks for posting that Marciano clip Fanatic, I admit i've never really gave props to Rocky for his defensive skills. I guess I really need to re-evaluate him.

    In my opinion Roy Jones has no defense. If being slick refers to having good defensive skills, he doesn't belong to the list.
