    He's footwork is pretty special. The guy's feet are like a rapid conveyor belt, going back n forth, back n forth. I especially like the way he makes a step forward, then back to confuse his opponent. At one point during the Donaire fight, I'm sure Nonito was thinking "WTF, this guy is like a jack in the box" and he does it so fluidly, it's effortless.

    Where would you rank his footwork amongst fighters of today?

    Top 3

    along with Floyd and Ward.

    B-Hop and JMM would make up the rest of the top 5 IMO.

    #1. I would rank Floyd ahead of him a few years ago but his foot speed seems to have declined some in the past few years, so I have Rigo #1.

    Number 1 for me, Hopkins has a very strong argument for the top spot as well. For me Rigondeaux footwork is close to perfect

    Hopkins
    Marquez/Rigondeaux/Ward
    Mayweather
    Paquiao/Martinez

    Something like that. It's hard to rank but he's among the best of them right now.

    As far as footwork and timing are concerned, Rigondeaux is second to none!

    I'd say just behind Khan's. Amir is a bit more technically proficient.
