    Hearns seemed to be off balance a lot, although he was otherwise a good boxer.

    Careful, for just as footspeed isn't exactly footwork, so are there great fighters past and present who my not have looked real good, werent fast or especially picturesque who were very very effective and goood nevertheless.

    Good words... and the reason 'footwork' is not used for a one dimensional form of effectiveness.

    He's not travelling too badly for a bloke without 'kneecaps'....

    Point taken though.

    :lol: thoughout the fight james was throwing punches off balance while in motion...

    when james actually plants his attack, yeah, he's effective.
    but his stalking seek and destroy style is a KTFO waiting to happen. this guy is straight up and down with NO special effects.
