    What modern day fighters really know how to use defensive footwork? Dirrell? Mayweather? I just ask for examples.

    Wlad. Very, very underrated defensive footwork.

    Definately not Dirrell. He always looks off balance and slips alot due to it.

    At times he shows it though. Admitingly he does run but still shows defensive footwork sometimes. He does look clumsy going back though. Hopefully he can improve it.

    Not dirrell he just has fast reflexes and feet. His footwork is not good by any means. PBF has great footwork.

    It's better than you give him credit for. I do agree on the fact that PBF has great footwork.

    I should rephrase that and it's not horrible but he uses his athletic ablity to cover his lack of fundamental footwork.

    Speed & reflexes like what RJJ used to do. Hopefully Dirrell becomes more technically sound than Jones and improves his footwork aswell.

    Yep:good. Don't know if he can really be considered so modern because he'll retire soon so I didn't put him.
