5 Greatest Defensive Fighters of All Time (List)

[Galaxy]

Half of that stuff is just based of legent. Nocche and Pep there isn't enough full footage to really say how good defensively they were. We can't compare fighters where there is little film to guys who's whole careers have been on film.

THe fact that Ali is up there makes me believe this list is crap. Ali had great reflexes and athletic ability for his time, but he never was a defensive great. Just watch his fights with Frazier for examples of what I am talking about.

I think Hopkins should be on any top 5 p4p defensive list. Not just for the % of punches landed on him, but because he reduced his opponents output so much.

just because there isn't much film or footage doesn't mean you just rule them out or disregard what they have accomplished

Pep and Sweet Pea are IMO leagues ahead of anyone after them

I agree, & Whitaker was outstanding
