"Fastest feet" in each weight class (other than heavyweight)?

Pacquiao, lomachenko, camacho haven't been mentioned.

Rocky Hatton was pretty fast coming forward with his feet even if his defense was abysmal in the process.

 

I wasn't a fan of his, but Hector Camacho had fast feet.

Vasilly Lomachenko has got fast feet too.

Footwork and footspeed I think are on a bit of a comeback arc in boxing.

 

175 Willie Pastrano
160 Mike Gibbons
147 Luis Rodriguez
135 Tony Canzoneri
126 Willie Pep

Gibbons might not be obvious, but he was called "the Phantom," mostly because of a fade-away move in which he slid out of range and then dashed back in to the fracas. You can see this in film. If a person wanted to bump Rodriguez up to middleweight, I would replace him for Gibbons. I would then insert at welterweight Bernie Docusen in a tie with a young Johnny Bratton whose early style reads 1945-48 reads like a young Muhammad Ali. Other divisions I either don't know enough to render an opinion or don't feel strongly enough about one way or the other.

Rodriguez was the most economically shifty fighter on his feet that I recall seeing. Not a runner, but in -bing - and out, left -- bing, bing - and right - bing again. Pastrano was a runner, pure and simple. Canzoneri and Pep were quick on their feet, but very effective offensively.

My wheelhouse for fighters ranges from 1890 to 1980. About the rest I don't know too much, though I have watched occasional fights featuring De La Hoya, Whittaker, Hopkins, Jones, Chavez, Camacho, Trinidad, Tyson, Holyfield, Haugen, Paziena, Mayweather, Azumah N., etc. I know almost nothing about present-day cruiserweights or heavyweights.

 

Hatton—Pacquiao May have had the fastest feet of any boxing match.

 

Heavy of course prime Ali, no one else is close. LT.heavy prime Between V.Hill and R.Jones. Middle R.Jones, M.Nunn jR.middle T.Norris Welter R.Robinson, R.Leonard, jr.welt A.Pryor , Z.Judah, M.Taylor, P.Whitaker L.Smith, N .Larocche, Light weight B.Leonard, R.Duran, P.Whitaker,M.Taylor, H.Davis jr.I,Laguana ,C.Ortiz. Jr.Light/super feather and feather: H.Camacho ,F.Mayweather jr, E.Pederoza, V,Lomanchko W.Pep

 

Vinny pazienza at the higher weights is another good suggestion. He was like a little rubber ball
