    I don't know about the most successful, but Winky Wright instantly comes to mind.

    Vargas was flat-footed at times.

    Kessler is a three time world champ at 168, and two of those titles were won during a very flat-footed portion of his career.

    :good

    You could put Joe's bottom half in a potato sack and he'd still be effective against just about every other HW in history.

    Gene Fullmer

    Jack Johnson

    Joe Louis

    Jack Dempsey moved kinda flatfooted to me, quick but flat footed

    Mike Tyson was flatfooted alot because he was planting to either used head movement or throw punches. He was so quick closing the distance that he wasn't on his toes too long

    The two most famous Rockys, Marciano and Graziano fought flatfooted.....and so did Jake Lamotta now that you mention great Italian-American boxers

    Butterbean and Balboa were flatfooted too.....just kidding :lol:

    Pavlik tops my list. He just stands there trading. Arreola prob makes the list also. One thing about this style is it's super entraining to watch.
