Who's FOOTWORK do you admire most in Boxing?

Yes, deadly finisher but maybe too patient at times.

Canzoneri is another great mention. He fought like those guys you're surprised that didn't get knocked out but he knew what he was doing.

 

Vernon Forrest was my favorite for footwork.

 

Canzoneri is the pocket roy jones with better skills, chin, and a bigger set of balls. He's one of my favorites

 

Forrest always seemed awkward when he was on the backfoot.

 

Oscar put on a lovely display in the first nine rounds of the Trinidad fight. From what little I've seen of Jersey Joe Walcott and Gene Tunney their footwork seemed very impressive for heavyweights.

Ricky Hatton had very exciting footwork, maybe it was just his footspeed?

 

Ali

Leonard

Floyd JR


All you guys not giving Floyd is props need to stop the hate!!!

 

Against the right opponent, he was brilliant. He'd move fluidly, never expend extra energy and always seemed to get his feet in the right spot.

 

Joe Louis may not have had the most fancy footwork, but he was always in poistion and perfectly balanced to land those fight ending punches of his.

 

I'ma go with Hopkins, Donaire, and Wlad.

 

I'd actually rank him over Roy and I'm a Roy fan. TBF, Roy didn't have the opposition available that Canzoneri did(Ross, McLarnin, Ambers, Chocolate) but he did well to dominate and did dig deep giving top performances against Tarver in the first fight and against Toney. Canzoneri was better and greater, greate for the sport too.

 

Obviously Canzi has a better resume man, i'm just making a style comparison

 

Mayweather's. I'd love to be able to do the check hook on overly aggressive fighters.
Also Ali's footwork itself isn't the most efficient, but he's so light on his feet that it amazes me

 

They do have comparisons but theres no question Canzoneri was greater. Roy couldn't carry his jockstrap.

 

Damn, no love for Chad Dawson???

He's has some good footwork!

 

Check hook is by far my favorite punch in boxing.

Nothing better than setting a proper trap.
