    This vid shows how greatr Loma is at countering after using the drop step, but how does his drop step compare to F.Mayweather`s pull counter?

    Marquez does a drop step/feint as well. And you really can't compare the two. Floyd's got long ass arms, so it works. If he had a normal reach, he wouldn't be doing it.

    That's not a drop step. That is slipping a punch the proper way, by shifting the weight on your feet. That way you are always in position to punch, as opposed to slipping a punch by "moving your head."
    An actual drop step is a move that dates back to the early 1900s, if not sooner, and you rarely see it done deliberately anymore. An actual drop step combine a shift and a slip.
