    OK so we've had Martinez and Pepp named.

    How about some other non-black fighters?

    My definition of slick is a guy that's able to avoid punches and land his own. Plain and simple... Floyd is a perfect example of a current "slick" fighter... But here are a few that come to mind.

    Ezzard Charles was a slick guy. Best shoulder rolls I've ever seen.
    Floyd is a very slick fighter.
    Roy could get in and out using his reflexes alone... Very slick
    Pea was very slick... Hard to hit.
    Hector Camacho...
    Ray Leonard...
    Sergio Martinez...
    Joe Calzaghe...
    Andre Ward...

    Hell, Ali was slick for a HW. You won't here that too often at HW.

    I wouldn't credit any fighter who displays any kind of nervous energy or any anything remotely herky-jerky as 'slick'.

    I wouldn't call Hopkins slick....maybe out of the group you gave us but I'd describe him more as "cagey". His defense isn't GREAT and neither is his offense but he knows what he is doing and can set traps and make another fighter have trouble on offense and defense.
