    Seems like there is no obvious answer.

    Canelo is the best at slipping shots in punching range.

    Maybe, but BJS footwork makes him extremely hard to hit

    Lara
    Saunders
    Loma
    Fury
    Farmer
    Crawford

    Missed a few for sure. But my first list would contain those names for sure.

    It's useless to name some fighters who basically haven't faced a serious opponent / test yet.

    lots of good ones. dont know the best. fury, rigo, loma, bud, harrision , mikey and danny garcia , thurman all sounds defensive fighters.

    guys like tyson fury and rigo they pride themselves on defense so maybe them to.

    Lol@ Fury. How did he go down twice against the guy who can’t box ? Fury thinks he is a defensive wizard, while in reality he is a clumsy clown.

    Crawford. There are other great defensive fighters, but Crawford hasn't been floored as many times.

    Craw might be the one. Farmer and Saunders are definitely top 5...as is my obligatory signature "hipster shout, the underrated as hell Yves Ulysse Jr. :deal:
