Fighters who had great movements...

Obviously roy jones before his consecutive losses.

Rarely raised a sweat in his bouts..

 

IMO Pernell Whitaker

 

Wilfredo Bernitez was pretty elusive. Pre-FOTC Ali was hard as hell to land on too.

 

At his best, Wilfredo Gomez could be very elusive, with well-timed body movements, and he was also good at picking off bodyshots.

SRL pointed out that Randy Shields had a way of creating illusions about where his head was going to be, then when the punch arrived, it wouldn't be there anymore.

Corbett's pompadour was still perfectly in place when Fitzsimmons put him down and out. All the damage was done downstairs.

Vilomar Fernandez could be a frustrating little SOB to try landing on. (And he could also take a punch.)

Benny Leonard is classic. Jack Johnson was actually thwarting Fireman Flynn's leaping attempts to headbutt him.

 

Does anyone remember a guy called Hector Acereo Sanchez who won a super bantamweight title in the 90's?
He had no power and an overly conservative offense but he had superb defensive skills and certainly deserves a shout out here,as from memory he was never stopped and was always a tricky opponent.

 

A bit off topic but have you seen much of a great Italian fighter called Salvatore Burrini Luigi?

He fought and destroyed an Italian/Aussie fighter called Rocky Gattellari,and having never seen him fight I'm curious what he was like and where he rates amongst the great European fighters.

 

James Toney
Bernard Hopkins

 

Sweet Pea, Greb, Prime-Tyson etc, etc.

 

Wilfredo "The Radar" Benítez... SRL, PBF, "Sweat Pea", Winky Wright... Ali, before the "Rope a Dope"...

 

I forgot, Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon... VERY HARD TO HIT, except in his last fight...:nono
