A guy I recently discovered, I read a brilliant article on his rivalry with Pete Sanstol which I will find a link for.

Right. I was watching some Joe Brown the other day and I think Panama Al Brown is a better version of Brown. A tall rangy puncher, who uses deft although unorthodox movement of head and foot to draw opponents on to punches. I love the way Brown can draw his opponents on to punches with his quick feet and land some very hard shots, his punch delivery is very Thomas Hearns-esque IMO although he is slightly looser and abit more unconventional in his punch selection. As has been mentioned his footwork was very smooth and allowed for his great movement, but his head movement was also superb and came of those educated feet. Just a great fighter all round.
