    possessed great upper body/head movement?

    Although he isn't an "old timer", Canelo springs to mind. Concrete feet, but fanatic upper body & head movement.

    Rodrigo Valdez is literally the better version of Canelo. Slow feet, elite movement and massive power for 160. Gave Monzon all he could handle.

    Yeah. But Monzon probably won 26 of the 30 rds. Prime Monzon; Valdez doesn't see 10.

    First thought was Toney, especially as he aged
