    Would have to say Roy Jones....he always used the right positioning to evade and land punches. I have never seen a fighter move angles as efficiently....He could punch going forward, back wards, side to side, one of the best if not the best counterpuncher ever.....Right behind him or with him are Willie Pep, and Pernell Whitaker...they made moves no one could dare attempt....................Pacquaio is good isnt close, Mayweather is efficient but isnt the picture either

    im sure you're joking....Pep Jones and Whitaker were the best IMO..... Alot of people say Pac-Man but using angles also includes evading punches, which he isnt the best at, Pacquiao uses some angles but primarily moves in straight lines going forward or backwards...he doesnt utilize lateral movement well

    I will say Hamed. He hits his opponents while they are standing on their side. Very weird angles.

    Pac is called the "angle man" by his sparring partners. I do not see it as clearly as Hamed but it is the way he bends and twist and throw shots all at the same time. Clearly though, he got that feint leaning to the right while throwing his left that he use every time and frustrate his opponents. It is more of a jab.
