what I have noticed from the top 5 p4p fighters in the sport is that none of them have sloppy footwork. They all have the best footwork in the business. That is whats separates the wheat from the chafe.
yeah i agree, hopkins footwork especially. he's a genius at judging distance and controlling the range.... also thats the main difference between mayweather and judah through out their career. floyd new how to control the distance and adjust his feet into position, that meant floyd could fight going forward and back, where as judah could only lead you on to shots when you commit.
it's a difficult question to answer, but off the top of my head to be a great fight you have to have 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name! plus access to really good roids!.... ones that don't show up in a **** test!
The greats have the innate desire to answer their opponent... Cintron always lacked this as if he was challenged he would fold
