    Agree with this

    Rigo and Hopkins out in front of the rest IMO

    That's a hard list to argue with.

    - but I'll add two more contenders that probably no one will agree with:

    6: Sergey Kovalev. - Not fast, not flashy, but always in perfect position, always ready for either defense or offense, always perfectly balanced. It really doesn't get any better.

    7: Deontay Wilder. Yeah I know, and screw all the haters. His footwork used to suck, but in the last 2 years it has gotten amazing. I'm especially impressed by how he backs up. - Like a large version of Sweet Pea.


    That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. :cool:

    You guys naming Wlad are insane.

    His offensive footwork is excellent, but -

    When he's backing up, especially if his opponent is pressuring him, his footwork sucks. He's typically off balance, practically falling backwards, and in no position to throw a counter.
