    This

    Wilfredo had the best footwork i ever seen, Nunn and Whitaker are my favorite fighters (with Hearns), but Wilfredo was perfect, every move was calculated and beautiful.

    Joe Frazier.
    Joey Giardello.
    Bob Foster.
    Buster Douglas.

    All had effective footwork for their style.

    Salvador Sanchez is also worthy of mention.

    Absolutely Drew. I loved the way Sanchez went at them and drawing the opponents offence as opposed to just waiting. Naploes did this too. Sanjchez and Pedroza may not have been an exciting fight, but it would have been a real chess match.

    Ken Buchanan, Benny Lynch and Jimmy Wilde deserve mentions.

    Just to be clear, this thread is about "favorite" footwork. You really enjoy watching Louis stalk people with his slow little baby steps more than the fluid, virtuostic footwork of the people being named in this thread? To each his own. :good
