Fastest Boxers with Tremendous Balance

Whitaker? Guys sense of balance was freakish.

 

Not really a speedster, though. The best footwork of all time, though, definitely. Broke all the rules, still seemed surefooted.

 

watch Duran vs Buchanan, how quickly he's charging in and closing the distance, but still able to punch effectively.

Exceptional natural balance and footspeed.

Early Chang too, though certainly not textbook either.

Laguna, Marcel, Luis Rodriguez with their bouncing, in-out mid-range movement would be worthy picks, though i don't think Rodriguez hands were overly quick for single shots, he still had a fast way of fighting.

 

Nah that has to go to Pep best footwork ever

 

Two sides of the same coin, honestly.

Pep flowed laterally better than anybody, but Pea had better pivots and retreats. Which do you prefer?

I'll call Pea's footwork better, personally. Pep, movement.

 

Hearns deserves a shout out i think although his hands were faster than his feet, his balance was always perfect.

Most fighters under the late Steward shared this though.

 

When i watch Pep i prefer him but then when i see Whitaker i say wow how did i pick Pep and same goes over and over, i seem to prefer Pep a little more though

 

..willie pep could move from side to side as noted, but he was brilliant at going straight in, throwing punches in bunches and getting out again without being hit.

 

Maybe Wlad?
He is very fast for a hw, and especially for such a big man.
His speed is pretty equal to Haye's, he also seems to stay in balance almost all the time.

Sure he isn't like Pep or the other "small" men, but for a hw he's very balanced.

 

Greg Page, Hector Camacho, and Larry Holmes.

 

Ali & Leonard had great balance.

 

And as mentioned, Willie Pep.
