Who are todays best defencive boxers?

I can agree with that.:good

 

The usual list: Floyd, B-Hop, Winky, Chad Dawson...

Mundine's actually a very good defensive fighter. While quick, I think it's his offensive game that's lacking moreso then his defensive game (barring maybe chin). He doesn't throw enough punches, e.g. Look at Kessler fight. Won a few early rounds, then lost the majority of the later rounds by simply not doing anything and being outworked by Kessler (he did of course get caught with a big left hook in the 4th that probably had a lot to do about it).

I'd say arguably best DEFENCE at 168.

 

Not that im making fun of anyone, just that i use the wrong spelling alot.:nut

 

Pardon my ignorance guys, i thought ring generalship was considered utilizing cleverness, agility, and feinting to keep his opponent off guard. By using footwork and movement, he forces his opponent out of his fight plan. Isn't that 1 way of being defensive?

ODH hit hopkins more then he hit floyd...ODH landed combos on hopkins..didnt have much effect.. but he did land his flurries. ODH had to jam floyd against the ropes and hold with one arm illegally and land shots to the body..IN THE REPLAY YOU SEE FLOYD ROLLING THOSE PUNCHES WITH ODH RIGHT HAND JAMED IN HIS NECK...LOL:rofl:rofl:rofl Floyd over bhop. Floyd gets hit less then anybody in boxing without holding compulsively.

 

I agree that floyds defense is not only technically better, but it also puts him in a better position to utilise his offense. however, the fact that Hop uses dirty tactics doesn't matter unless he is DQ'd because of it. Hop uses superior movement to floyd, and his tactics although ugly are effective. Still it is a very close call, however I believe Hop is currently better at avoiding punches.

 

winky, PBF, and Bhops.
