    Khan's footwork is appalling, he literally jumps in and out of his combos.

    I think Floyds legs have slowed down a bit but Ward is a good shout.

    It's not something that is quantifiable. Qualitatively it is very good, it's a bit hard to compare to others though. His balance is what makes it work so well for him.

    I don't know where is he ranked. And I don't know how many times his back touched ropes during the fight... did you see him on the ropes?

    I didn't. Amazing!

    At the end of one round, I saw him pivot and then scamper around the ring, almost like a rat. Donaire stood frozen, as if to say, "what the **** is this rat doing in front of me?". It was one of the most impressive things I remember from the fight.

    Probably #1. Some of the stuff he was doing in there against Donaire was just sick as ****. Can anyone post a vid or gif of Rigo doing that side-step shuffle move against the ropes? Donaire didn't know what the hell to do. :lol:

    Probably number one at this moment.

    Pacquiao, Mayweather and Hopkins don't have the same legs they used to have. Martinez moves alot, but his footwork is kinda sloppy some times.

    GGG has excellent offensive footwork.

    Educated and efficient footwork he has to be at the top with Hopkins imo.

    IMO, I would say he's up there...The only person I would say better is Bhop...He footwork is very educated and well timed IMO...He knows how to place himself in a position in which he's never in any real trouble.

    Bhop
    Rigo\Ward
    Mayweather
    Dawson

    Dawson? Really? I thought Ward made him look second rate with his footwork. Dawson can move quickly but not well.

    Yes, Dawson...Ward does that to fighers when he smothers and outworks them on the inside, but if we were to look at his other fights...He's shown to place himself in the right position and avoid whatever (for the most part) his opponents threw back at him.

    So yes IMO has some good footwork.
