    I'd say average come to think about it.

    It is the one area, except for dedication that seems to let him down. I mean he's like a whale he moves so little at HW, but even at the lower weights it was not the best. I always think its a major factor in some of his inconsistent performances, and it affects his H2H rating greatly. I don't know how you pick him over a great outboxer. Prime McCallum would have done for him, that was made abundantly clear to me.

    Weak.

    he was at his best when fighters came at him and he barelly needed to move his feet,when he had to go after a fighter he struggled thats one of the reasons why i dont rank him very high H2H.

    If you can plant, counter and slip like a prime Toney, you don't need happy feet.

    But as pointed out in the other thread, it put him at a disadvantage when he was made to lead.
