    Yeah i'd be made up if you done something like this, might be an idea to go for the better known guys, like Whitaker, Zapata, Ali, LOCCHE!, Benitez, Mayweather, Calderon etc etc, then you could have the video go into one of them fast bits, where it's just olads of different snippets of great defensive moments of other lesser known for their defense type guys, like moments of brilliance from Tyson, Duran, Hopkins, Winky, Famechon (thanks SS), Frazier. You know how they do with the knockout compliations.

    Just some suggestions there GreatA, your vids are great.

    Making highlights of the greatest defensive artists and then another highlight of the lesser known ones or those that there isn't much footage of is probably the best idea.

    The only question for me is which should have their very own tributes. Probably Whitaker, Locche, Benitez, maybe Duran and others.

    This is how I've done it in the past:

    I was supposed to make a third part featuring all the fighters who aren't mentioned there in one big highlight but I ran out of ideas and footage. I'll probably finish it some day.

    Yeah i meant you might be able to do it all as one video like, just a prolonged vid. I think whatever you decide on is going to be very good GreatA.

    I'll check these vids out now, i gotta go now anyway, later mate.

    The only suggestion I'd give you is that it is much more interesting to me when regardless of what is being discussed we get into the why and the how of it, the what's involved, what's behind it. Not enough to show clips of guys who were great at this for it to be truly instructive. Overdub things like what made some guys better at it than others. Are we talking about a different type of defense, (eluding punches), when we talk about Locche than Benitez? What was the skill set, how much was physical, how much mental, also what's lost in offense if anything. I believe some guys find their offense off their defense, off their movement. Maybe this is more than you had in mind, but if you have the technical capabilities then why not do a definitive study? Might even figure out a way to make a buck on it.

    Personally I'll plump for Locche..so hard to hit!!!

    Not at the top level of course, but I remember seeing a vidoe of Mark "too sharp" Johnsen doing some matrix style evasion during a fight...it was hilarious!! Aooreciate it if anyone has the link!!!

    you're just a slow stater Pater, I told you yourself, in a pro 4,6,8 round fight you'd come into your own mate.

    great idea i have always wanted to something like that but dont have the capabilities but ill try and learn now seems a good time to try.

    i am a slow starter. Being doing half an hour non stop sparring in the gym the last few weeks with new sparring partners every few minutes. Some arnt as good as me, some are better so its tough going. At the end im fine after it and my sparring partners are out of breath. I had to body spar one guy and he was begging me to hit his head he was so tired haha.

    Its hard stuff but the last 10 mins of the sparring is when im dangerous

    Paul Spadafora deserves mention. He's never in one
    place very long. Angles, angles, angles. Some nice
    comments from Teddy Atlas.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlMTKWQjupU

    Most of you know his story. He's out, back in training,
    had one or two fights. Some things are easier for us
    to understand than others. At first blush, what he
    pleaded guilty to was hard to forgive, but I never
    got the details, and I doubt that anybody other than
    Paul and his girlfriend know the real story. Regardless,
    he paid his debt to society, as they say, and he wants
    a life now. Why not? If not that, then what's left except
    for the big sleep? That or the walking dead. You're right Paul,
    "Everybody wants to hear a comeback story." And I'm pulling
    for you. On brother...

    Yeh Teeto he was decent. A poor mand pea in that video though his offence wasnt up too much.

    But i havent seen much else of him.

    That wasn't really his usual style. I think he was clowning around a bit because his opponent was so slow and predictable.
