    Orlando Canizales had amazing foot work and worked angles well.

    From a compared to their weight class point of view, Ali's footwork was far superior to any heavyweight I have seen since. That being said, from a technically correct point of view Usyk is very good.

    Paulie Malignaggi is fond of talking about fighting in the pocket. From that point of view I have never seen anyone better than Vasyl Lomachenko. For as close as he often stands to his opponents it is amazing how many great angles he can create with just slight adjustments to where he is standing.
