    No...... just no. Not even close.

    It depends on if you mean defensive or offensive footwork.

    Best defensive footwork...... Floyd, Whitaker, prime Ali, Willie Pastrano.

    Best offensive footwork..... Prime Tyson, Duran, Napoles, Pacquiao.

    Best overall... I'd say Leonard.

    Mayweather. Roy Jones. Hopkins. Pacquiao. Ali but he was more of a dancing counterpuncher like in the amateurs but with power

    No your right, theres a lot of things Naseem does that I wouldnt teach anyone let alone learn.

    Ohhh ok but I have to disagree with you guys, I think hes got fantastic footwork but thanks for checking him out and getting back anyway.

    From what I know,

    I'd say

    Pac,

    Andre Ward(Hopkins's dolphin)

    Lucian Bute

    Bernard Hopkins

    Mayweather


    The worst footword I ever saw in a top level match is to me Adamek against Dawson. The 3 last rounds, Adamek was not moving at all, as his foot was stuck in the ciment.

    No wonder why Dawson struggled so much against Pascal's footwork when his best opponents had none.

    LOL @ anyone who thinks Pacman has great or even good footwork. The guy still fights like he's a kickboxer. He is constantly off-balance when he attacks, and is predictable as hell when he's about to attack.

    actually right now I think Donaire has some of the best in the game, he's really quite good at using his legs to draw a guy into making mistakes and he's got some damn good speed
