    That's causing all these top liners to give up against Loma. Rigo has atg footwork but was reduced to holding and remaining stationary while ducking low. He had his great footwork taken away. These guys guys have to put up with this Peter Pan like entity who has the ability to float all over the place and at all times put himself in a position where he wants to be to maintain his knowledge of exactly what himself and his opponent are capable of doing. These hapless opponents must feel like they are being surrounded by 10 men. I have never seen anything like it. He has the best footwork in the history of boxing and this will be the downfall of anyone he fights until he is old and faded.

    Prime Mike Tyson had great footwork, considering their different styles. But yeah, Loma's is probably even better for Loma's purposes. Rigo was lost in the Matrix.

    Yes footwork and timing and the ability to anticipate what his opponents are going to attempt. Timing is an under appreciated quality in boxing and it is perhaps the second most important.
