    Hey, Ezzard Charles should be brought up, and not just for getting KOd.

    I'd have to agree with McGrain here.

    Michael Spinks used both extremely awkward punching angles and footwork angles that frustrated oponents.

    Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez both specialize in being that half step out of range/to the side to make the oponent miss and let them capitalize with hard counters.

    Tyson showed some against Mathis when he knocked him out.

    What i dont ****ing understand is why Tyson never before, or after used this type of skill ever again?

    Sparred with Pep at the tail end of his career. Couldn't hit'm in the ass with salt. He twisted me into a pretzel 'n peppered me with jabs.

    Knew Willie since I was a kid at Stillman's Gym. Started sparring with him there (He toyed with me), and continued years later at the 5th St. Gym in Miami.

    Willie and Rocky Graziano, my neighborhood hero, looked out for me, giving me boxing tips, like SRR did, introducing me to every ATG at Stillman's 'n making sure I never sparred over my head.

    Locche has good angles for countering. His counter body shots were technical brilliant not just relying on timing but the angled punches were masterful

    I loved watching Genaro Hernandez. What a slick fighter he was and a great guy. Economical movements and sharp punching.

    If you want to see the very best example of pivits and footwork to make angles. See foreman v frazier 1 , georges footwork was sick!!
