Favorite Footwork in a Fighter?

Didn't you once make a thread about how much you disliked slugfests?

 

No, I enjoy watching him box people's ears off and punch people's lights out. His footwork is just part of the equation. :good

 

Everything, really. Both as an ****ogy for enjoying a different aspect of a fighter. And in a more literal sense.

And if all you see from louis is slow footwork then I don't see how you can't call what post retirement Floyd did stalling. Both are true,yet entirety beside the point.

 

My personal favorite footwork belonged to Chava Sanchez.

 

You've no idea how gay you come across on here.

 

Both Lopez fights, Gomez, LaPorte, Azumah, Castanon

 

I absolutely love the foot work of an early John Mugabi fights vs Animal Fletcher and Hard Rock Green. Hold center ring, takes small back steps to take away the jab, even lean back and come over the top of the jab with huge straight rights hand. With each punch landing , John follows the range of his punches and his offense is building in volume. That keen sense of timing followed by a short step always perfect range to land punches. That is so hard to do.

VS power punches we too often think of the KO finish and not the slow steady work 3-4 rounds before that exhausts an opponent. Footwork allows those heavy left hooks inside and single body punches that wear guys down. I watch guys like Mugabi and Tito Trinidad way more than I do Sweet Pea or Floyd.

 

Of course. Golovkin's technique is near perfect for a stalking style.

 

In answer to your question, yes I do. Louis' footwork was in its own way fluid & virtuostic (sp), but also far too stealthy for many of his opponents (& some observers) to appreciate.

Louis' name was the first one I thought of.

You will no doubt point out that your question was not directed at me, and you would be right.

 

I liked watching Paul Spadafora when he was on.
