    Who, in your opinion, is the greatest feint artist of all time?

    Gans, Johnson, Jones Jr., Langford are a few I can think of.

    Duran is definitely one of the best feinters I've seen.

    Hopkins is up there too.

    Duran, Hopkins, Zarate and Andre "S.O.G." Ward.

    Louis and Jones are baffling picks to me. Half of the guys mentioned aren't even on any decent film.

    Moore.

    A good modern pick would be Morales.

    :good I hadn't thought of Morales, but he did like to feint a lot.

    I saw the thread and thought "Moore". I don´t think there was anyone better than him.

    Was going to mention Benitez but he's already been said by the looks of things. Damn. My moment to shine! Gone.

    Of course, Moore was famously out-feinted by Burley. Moore got better after that, but it does sound like Archie got embarrassed in that regard.

    Of the guys we have serious footage of though, I think he's the best.
