Is footwork boxing's most overlooked aspect?

as it relates to defense. Defense is the most overlooked aspect I think. People on here assume because Mattysse stopped Peterson, he would stop Floyd or Pacman. As though those guys would be in the path of those punches. He still has to hit them, and hitting them and stopping them will be harder than stopping Peterson.

 

Yes I would say saw. Very good point. :good

Footwork is very underrated in the sport today. I love watching boxers with great footwork. Hopkins, Ward, Rigo, PBF and JMM all have exceptional footwork and are a joy to watch.

 

Two fellow ATGs were able to neutralize it, that's it. They have the advantage of Pac always leading.

 

Yes. This also leads people to forget how amazing Mayweather is.

 

Yes. It is sloppy.

 

footwork is and jabbing is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!


understand spacing is important....notice rigo, hop and PBF spacing in their fights... they're was in position to score and not get hit back



i love toney footwork also

 

This a key thing Canelo uses. Nice footwork.

 

Sloppy but with purpose and more effective than many fighters' footwork. It's what enables his ATG offense.

The art of footwork is the single most neglected aspect of the sport these days. And like you said, most people, including those who call themselves experienced boxers and fans don't know **** about it.

 

head movement

 

Vladimir Klitschko has great footwork and balance, it's one of his strong points............

 

I agree wit you for once

 

Yes, yes and yes.
