    You're just an idiot. If his foot work is so bad then why does he continue to win and his style is so effective? It's because his foot work is awkward but still works, a ****** like you with no knowledge of boxing would not understand this.

    Jack, no offense, but he would still kill your boy Haye :lol:

    Nah, in all seriousness, Vitali has terrible footwork, and he has no coordination what so ever, but who needs it when your as much of a beast as what he is.

    If you watch Vitali, almost every-time he throws the right hand, he lets his feet catch up with each other, which leaves him open to counter right hands. You can counter Vitali's right hand if your looking for it, albeit your more than likely not going to hurt him with that shot. This is one of the reasons Adamek was able to catch him a couple of times after he threw the right hand.

    Aaron Pryor had terrible footwork from a technical perspective. Didn't stop him from being effective.

    I hate Vitali's awful technique, but he did cut off the ring and did a quick step-back often to just make Adamek miss often though.

    His lazy mofo'ing jab of is what gets me. What kind of ''top'' heavyweight are you when you can't even ferociously time that jab with a brutal shot?

    I would say Hatton. He was garbage at everything after all. Nothing more than a fat WBU con man, a real joke of an 'elite' fighter.

    Hatton did not have crap footwork. He had quick feet.

    :lol: yeah his head movement was dog doody, but his feet were very good. That's what helped him most against Floyd early on in the fight

    Hatton's footwork was world class. With his body punching and chin, it was the only other world class attribute he had. Very fast feet and great at cutting the ring off. Mayweather commented on it and praised it very highly too.
