    I don't know about that but his offensive footwork is great.

    Yes! Already Dirrell does one thing better than Jones and that's jab. I think he can improve on his footwork and technical ability.

    That would be my pick as well! Dawson has some good footwork for a guy his size.

    Wlad is another big guy with decent footwork...I like how he puts himself in a puncher's possition when he evades his opponents onslaught!

    Mayweather, Hopkins

    Both excellent at controlling distance, pivoting, creating angles, and know when to move in and when to move out.

    Agreed. After giving Froch problems and beating Abraham, the sky's the limit for Dirrell.

    Dawson has great footwork and so does Wlad for such a big man he can fight at the distance he wants usually.

    I would say Wlad has good footwork especially for someone his size.

    Pacquiao's Footwork. Very Underrated.

    Hopkins wins, though he's more old-school.

    Not really defensive though, apart from moving off to the side after throwing a combination. Great offensive footwork.

    I like his offensive footwork better. Notice he gets in and out fast and is always in a good position to punch when setting up his shots.

    I need to study him more. Overall his footwork is pretty good though.
