    Duran ... he could feint two or three different shots and have a guy all tied up in knots, then just pick his shot to unload while the guy was completely flumoxed.

    Pacquiao might be the best of the past 20 years. His handspeed and ability to shift his weight quickly and deliver punches from unorthodox angles made his feints highly effective.

    Buddy McGirt was a very active feinter. Marquez was/is incredible.

    I never get tired of watching this fight. It was a clinic in feinting skills.
