[henry#14]

toure and cannavaro (age?)

 

[KoreaJjang]

Toure, Glitchy, Garry, Hoyte, Tavlaridis and NEARLY ALL THE ARSE DEFENDER!!!

 

[Curro]

Ivan Remiero Cordoba is mad!

Lucio is also great

 

[celtic_bhoy]

stephen crainey --- young celtic left back

 

[IceBlu]

Paolo Cannavaro (Fabio's younger brother) is also very good.

 

[Haukur Gudnason]

djimi traore and igor biscan

 

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

Ricardo Rocha (Benfica)

As the name's describes ("Rocha" in english is "Rock"), he's solid as hell... very good defender, most probable successor of Fernando Couto in Portuguese national side (I think he is 25, not so young... is on his prime)

 

[Boelman]

John O' Shea (Man Utd), Steven Herdsman (Colorado Rapids), Wes Brown (Man Utd)

Wes Brown, Mexes, Legrotaglie

 

[bbranco10]

mexes,ricardo carvalho,toure
even though these guys arent too young they are awesome for their clubs though.Fernando Meira - Stuggart Jorge Andrade-Coruna

 

[Guillaume]

Philippe Mexès or Jean-Alain Boumsong

 

[SB9Dragon]

Cannavaro and Roberto Carlos aren't young defenders man

Inter's best young defender is Pasquale, a Left Wingback.

Though I hope we can add Boumsong to that list Though Mexes and Metzelder wouldn't be to shabby either

Oh and another good young defender is Vidic

 

[Back Door Skip]

Rafa Marquez

 

[Velvet]

Ricardo Carvalho, Mexes and Chivu

 

[taptone]

kyriakos and seitaridis. seitirids is being tracked by some big teams right now.

 

[Curro]

sorry I missed read the question, I thought it was the best defenders around...Chivu gets my vote

 

[manutd4eva]

Wes Brown, Chivu and Mexes are the best IMO
