    Jersey Joe, although Langford is a pretty underrated feinter IMO.

    Napoles came to mind. So many little decoys worked into that smooth boxing.

    Feinting is OK, but you have to throw punches to win,

    Lol, he was hanging there swinging in the breeze for a while so I thought I’d hit that piñata.

    I was building up to mentioning him. When he fought a couple of defensive masters in Duran and Benitez his feints really came into play. He used feints and a great jab to open Duran right up for big punches and he also used them to comprehensively outbox Wilfred Benitez particularly after breaking his right hand.

    Yeah,Hitman Hearns especially at the lower weights. Opponents knew the right hand was coming an Hearns used his feints to play on their fear of that right hand power
