    I dint think he has been called out bit I love watching Wilfredo Gomez. Bouncing about, suddenly planting and firing.

    Eubank and Walcott also had a very similar famous knockdown each - the walk-in uppercut (Walcott left hand, Eubank right hand).

    Mayweather's feet are phenomenal.
    I like watching Napoles' and Olivares attacking footwork, and angles.
    Add: JCC so efficient.

    I guess Jose Napoles is the most aesthetically pleasing fighter regarding footwork for me....and SRR of course.

    ali and robinson are the best, leonard looked a clown trying to emulate them, walcott had a very beautiful footwork too

    Vasyl Lomachenko's footwork is the best I have EVER seen.

    Tyson had good footwork from 1985-88. It was the lack of footwork which proved to be his major undoing after wards.
