Silva I think will be number one. But who else sticks out? It is a hell of a skill to possess. And it is pretty fleeting.

This is some random fool showing how to slip punches in street fights.
 
You don’t see as much slipping in MMA because of kicks, but in boxing, how about Pernell Whitaker.

In MMA? Anderson. Until he wasn't.

He's holding the fence, he'd lose a point in MMA.

This dude has talent no doubt but he's fighting bums off the street. Someone of his relative skill would tag him a lot more with his hands down like that, not to mention if they thew in body shots or god forbid leg kicks. That's not to say this guy personally wouldn't adapt just fine to that but head movement is just one defensive tool, chin down hands and eyes up and distance control are just as important.

Fuck yeah, love a Sweet Pea shout out, he's the man that got me into Boxing.

Prime RJJ (Anderson's inspiration) is an obvious answer as well as Money and now a days Lomo.

Sweat P was robbed in most of his losses. He's one of the best boxers of all time and the best defensive boxer of all time.
 
<<Silva I think will be number one>>

there's nothing to think about it's Silva hands down
