    Hopkins is an obvious choice it's the one aspect of his game that hasn't declined and it has been crucial for his success at such a late stage of his career. Constant movement and never off balance.

    Rigondeaux controls range superbly and effortlessly with his superb foot work, makes it look very easy with very little effort.

    Ward's foot work is what impresses me most about him. He only has a 71 inch reach so is always up against guys with reach advantages but just look how he glided in and out against Froch he cuts off the rings with sublime ease and then is gone before you can counter.

    Mayweather may no longer be as mobile as he once was but he is never off balance and always in position. When he does move he is untouchable.

    Rigondeaux has just about the best footwork I've ever seen.

    I'm not a fan of Ward, but he definitely knows how to use his feet. I can't say Floyd because he is very flat footed

    In no particular order.

    Ward - dude is always on balance and can get in an out no problem
    GGG - If I had to pick one to be in first place it would be him. He has great balance and is always poised to throw with power with every punch. To me that is better than a guy like PBF who also has great footwork but his is intended to avoid punches.
    PBF - see above
    JMM - can have great footwork to counter with combinations but at times he does get off balance and has suffered KDs because of it.
    Rigo - has great footwork as well but I feel he is being overrated so far in the thread.
    Hopkins - same as everyone said
    Pac - Seems like he has been completely forgotten since JMM put him to sleep but the guys footwork is incredibly fast. He can get in and out in a split second. However, if you catch him coming in... that is alot of momentum and you can put him to sleep.
    Mikey - He like Golovkin is always set to punch with power with his shots. He is not quite on GGGs level but very close.
