Nihilist:
I didn't watch them Joe Louis and sugar ray so I can't really rate them.

What I know is that, you can't have 200 fights in the modern era. 200 fights? One round with a Deontay Wilder or golovkin is enough punishment for a lifetime let alone 12 rounds times 200.

Afrodoc2 please come and give your opinion. I think Starboard is also quite knowledgable about the sport

I didn't watch them either but with over 500 videos in my collection, I feel like i was alive then.I've watched virtually everyone of their famous fights. Lol i believe the old guys were harder punchers though. 1 punch of marciano or jack johnson no be beans na

Nihilist:


Damn that's quite an impressive collection.
Anyway I think those guys mostly fought bums in those days when pro boxing wasn't a lucrative career and most of those guys were just bricklayers and farm labourers who fought in the weekend.

You can't have 200 fights in the era from 1980-2015. Body go tell you.

Aareonakakanfo:




Lol i think the major reason for the emboldened is due to the fact that a lot of rules have been tampered with. P.S i go soon join una for that football thread.Forza milan

chic2pimp:


You support the Great Milan? . No vex for my surprised expression o just that we are a dying breed on NL.

Back to the post, great list btw.

Sugar Ray Leonard
Floyd Mayweather
Marvin Hagler(Marvellous Himself)
Roy Jones Jr
Lennox Lewis
Pernell Whittaker(only floyd rivals him as far as defensive skills is concerned. Peerless!)
Smoking Joe
George Foreman
Julio Chavez(the greatest mexican of them all)
Joe Luis
Roberto Duran
Tommy Hearn

Aareonakakanfo:



Lol na so we see milan ooo. Thank God say i don see person wey dey support my club lol. Back to your list, I think that's a great list between i think sweet pea and james toney are better in defense than floyd though,just my opinion. I also think Locche is the greatest of them all defensively.You need to watch that man. Watching him is like watching messi play,the guy is a piece of Art!

chic2pimp:


Dude we are indeed a very rare and special breed.

The only dude that matches Floyd's defensive ingenuity is imo Whittaker. Toney whilst being one of the greatest defensive boxer of all time is not on Floyd's level I believe.

I have watched tapes of Locche. Easily one of top3-4 defensive boxers of all time. His reflexes are out of this world. The reason why i'd still rate sweet pea over him is simply because of the footwoork. Pernell's was much better.

Hahaha na soo my brother but bone ooo don't you think Locche was more of an alien? I don't think that guy is a normal human being.The only guy who made kid pambelle look like a mugun He does it with so much ease

Let me put list my top 5 defensive boxers for you

Locche
Sweet pea Whitaker
James toney
Floyd Mayweather
Naseem hameed

Abeg watch this meanwhile i already created a serie A thread i'm waiting for the mods to move it to the european leagues section.Please contribute

chic2pimp:


He was definitely a freak of nature. Even though His footwork was not that great, His upper body motion more than compensated for that. It's ridiculous. You simply could not touch that Cigar Lighting Mofo.....As much as I love The Prince,(anyone who knows me can attest to that) I won't have him in my top 10 never mind top 5 defensive boxers. Now If we are talking strictly about reflexes then He is definitely in.

chic2pimp:
Cc Shymex and A40...... Your top 15 pound 4 pound boxers of all time. In no particular order

A40:

Muhammad Ali
Marvelous Marvin Hagler
Lennox Lewis
Vitali Klitschko
Julio Cesar Chavez
Rocky Marciano
Riddick Bowe
George Foreman
Smoking Joe Frazier
Sugar Ray Leonard
Evander Holyfield
Floyd Mayweather
Tommy Hearns
Sugar Ray Robinson
Larry Holmes

A40:
Ken Norton was a beast too

Aareonakakanfo:



Nice list even though klitschko won't make my top 50

A40:

Wladimir won't make my list but Vitali would. He had a chin made from titanium and was never knocked down. Woulda beaten Lennox easily if not for that eye cut

Aareonakakanfo:



He was like those small teams who know how to defeat big teams but don't do well against those in their own level

Aareonakakanfo:

The major reason why i included naseem is not neccessarily because he's defensive, I'd rather put it like this he's hard to hit because he's a clown.He keeps messing around but my opinions are subject to change though maybe if i see someone who's more defensive i might consider that

chic2pimp:


This actually made me chuckle a bit



Naseem reflexes were just insane. Much like Roy jones. Pity He had never had that much of a defense. Could have been one of the greatest ever.
