    Especially considering the unusual angles Pea would take sometimes.

    He would get really low or do some unusual movement but wouldn’t be off balance that much

    Sergey Kovalev in his prime had great balance.

    At his peak Donald Curry looked balanced. Simple, unflustered & compact.

    He was never a Lineal World Champion, but I would say George Chuvalo had excellent balance. He fought some of the best and was never off his feet.
