    Can you think of who was the boxer who used feinting more effective than any other fighter in history?

    Most of the great fighters from yrs past were very good at feinting. Like slipping and countering, ( you know, what new fans of boxing think Lomo created) from the slickest of boxers to the hardest power punching stalkers, it would be very hard to pick out one best fighter to do it. But my favorite, and one of the most spectacular feints was Hearns using the feint jab to Durans body, to bring that right cross over the top. Goodnight Roberto.

    Buddy McGirt- he feinted with just about every part of his body.
    I have a friend that sparred with Emile Griffith and he told me that Griffith feinted, if that's the correct word, with his eyes.

    Tyson Fury feinted his way into multiple world titles, so I toss in a vote for him.

    Duran was one of the fighters I was thinking about when I wrote this question.

    Duran was extraordinarily good at using feints to close distance against bigger men.
