    Either deceptive guys that you never saw what was coming (Willie Pep, Muhammad Ali), or guys that could really fake some certain punches (Tommy Hearns, maybe Mike Tyson)

    Roberto Duran could tie people in knots with his feints. Look at the Carlos Palomino fight for a prime example.

    Duran naturally comes to mind

    Hopkins, Morales, and RJJ were all excellent at using feints

    He really is just a giant fat man with good reflexes who's insanely skilled.

    Loved Gans’ feinting in the opening round of the Nelson footage, every single part of his body moving. Looks so restless

    MF'er took a time machine backwards from Kronk Gym in 1986. No one looks that skilled on footage that old, not even close.

    Just gonna say Fury. The dude looks like he's got some sort of nervous twitch in the ring. Must be horrible trying to anticipate him.
