Actually, Defender's block rate and the crystal's do not stack (same for magic DEF). Thus, a 100 DEX Defender with Black Crystal 6 basically has a 80% block rate. At LV86 (100 DEX and 70 LP), that's an effective bulk of 6800 LP. Your average full LP Boxer has 4375 LP with a BC6. Near two-thirds of a Defender's bulk, that's not bad at all.

Of course that's not including potential weapon boosts but Boxers can at least be somewhat threatning with them.
