Surprisingly Pacman at his best. Delahoya couldn't find him at all.

Calzaghe and Hamed. Their defense was more or less based on never being able to find the damn thing.

I recall Duran having some beautiful head movement against Davey Moore.

Yes, Whitaker, but I wouldn't say "easily."
Guys like Locche and Benitez are very much right up there as well.

Really like how Benitez made opponents miss by inches. It seemed so natural.

Just seen hightlights of Loche, but his head movement just looks fantastic.

Tyson was a bit erratic in this regard, but when he was on his head movement was really something behold.

I wouldn't like to have Qawi in front of me bobbing, weaving and trying to get past my jab with his crazy smile.

Some fighters have subtle head-movement like Duran, he made you miss by inches so it was harder to notice rather than fighters like Frazier and Tyson had a lot of upper body movement as well as head movement so they had more of a rhythm to theirs.

Nicolino Locche...everybody comes after him.
