    Neither does he, that's probably why he's being sarcastic about Adamek having poor footwork, he seemingly doesn't think he has poor footwork.

    1.35, tries to go to the body, but reaches with his punches cause he's throwing them from out of range, not getting his feet into position, then cause he's in a bad spot, he allows his feet to get square, and has to scamper out the way.

    Adamek also moves the back foot first when moving, when your supposed to move the lead foot first, then the back follows, as if you dont, your liable to cross your feet, meaning if you get attacked whilst in transition(sorting your feet out), it can be very dangerous, but not only that, when someone applies pressure and in your that position, and you have move fast, it can be difficult, which is why Adamek takes so many baby steps when pressure is put on him, rather than one big step, then pivoting.

    Mosley also as much as i hate to say that. At one point he had great footwork but nowadays he just doesnt kno how to get outta the way of punches anymore. Largely due in part to his footwork, aside from his age

    Valuev hands down.

    I like Khan's footwork. Remember when everyone said that Pacman had horrible footwork?

    Victor Ortiz has a pretty horrible bounce in his feet.

    YOU. :deal


    The way you shamelessly sidestepped away from my execution of you and subsequent questioning of your idiotic opinions was so very, very clumsy. :good

    Gamboa has horrible footwork, but it's been improving. Not a major level fighter yet, but Edwin Rodriguez has god awful footwork.
