Best head movement in boxing today

+1

 

tank

 

Canelo and Shakur

 

I think current styles have moved away from head movement heavy defense which lends itself to more intuitive and instinctive fighting in favor of stricter and more mechanical boxing, which favors foot and hand defense - for better or worse (I actually think for worse, but it’s mostly a matter of preference)

I say this because when I read this thread, I realized it wasn’t very easy to come up with multiple fighters with head movement that really stands out.

Canelo is pretty well ahead of the rest, after that I’d say:

Fury when he’s not screwing off
Usyk and Loma for more offensive minded head movement (more to set and open things up than for defense/countering, but still exceptional head
movement).

 

Not even just head, probably upper body movement while remaining stationary period is Canelo. I would think even those that aren't fans of him can concede this.

 

Canelo
Usyk
Tank
Fury

 

Canelo.

Joyce's head does move a lot when punched too

 

That would be Khan, his head would spin 360 degrees when he got punched

 

Surprised no one has mentioned Bivol

 

fr clenelolose giving his head movements to his enemies always cause 'em hard fits (pause)
