    Go to Classic forum.

    The answer is Usyk by an absolute mile.

    Do not send me anywhere.
    Usyk ofc had better foot work and agility than Ali from 70 ies but not better than Ali from 60 ies.
    I don't talk about guard work etc think. About legs.

    He probably means the modern division. Look at the poll answers. The answer would be Usyk

    Usyk without doubt followed by Fury

    If you're into Herman Munster-esque treading in quicksand footwork then look no further that Fat Andy.

    P4P Fury but out right Uysk

    Fury has great foot work for a giant
    Usyk has better movement, quicker, and more nimble

    There isnt much in it though h2h

    I'd rather send you to the moon, with your Western hatred-obsession and 6 paragraph, broken English essays.

    Ohh, I had been confused cos Povetkin had been mentioned too, cos this I had assume that this is historical question.
    Pov was very great until he was 37, later :(:ohno.

    Modern?
    Usyk and Fury.

    A lot of folks wrongly confuse great footwork with speed. To me, great footwork is punching effectively while moving and keeping an opponent off balance and neutralized. Uysk checks all of the boxes.
