    I just heard of this guy Virgil Hill in the Olympics. Never heard of him but he moves so well and floats on his toes. Amazing mover!

    You never heard of Virgil hill?
    Lots of guys have shown ability to dodge or roll with punches. In most recent times Mayweather perfected the rope a dope against younger opponents like Alvarez and Canelo.
    Calzaghe was also pretty good at rolling with punches and coming back with his own......come to think of it a Calzaghe vs Virgil hill fight would have been pretty good

    Move away how? Pernell Whitaker, Willie Pep, and Nicolino Locche could stand in the rain and not get wet with their Matrix reflexes. James Toney would stand in the pocket being very technical, duck, and lean. Happy Lora and and Orlando Canizales had great defensive footwork.

    Anyone else want to see that fight Howard Cosell called the best amateur fight he'd ever seen in the thread starter's clip? He mentioned Shawn O'Sullivan vs Christophe Tiozzo at the '84 Olympic games but I can't find a trace of it.
