If ur posture is faulty then your gonna have problems with the steps unless ur hips are in very good working order.

Look up anterial/posterial pelvic tilt and cross syndrome to see how posture can effect mobility. Almost everyone has a postural deviancy of some sort and bending at the hips like the 3rd of dempsys figures can cause a lot of problems for these muscles in terms of activation.
Can you explain please why the top gyms are teaching pivots including Mayweather's sidestep where he moves 1 foot at a time. a lot of boxers these days do pivots especially the Cubans they have a thing called Cuban small circles.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ITk0W8Kl62Y
Here's another Cuban example of small circular movements https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qLmaWnFjLiY
You misunderstood him. He said move both feet, not move them at the same time.

BTW that guy's pivots aren't done right, he's moving the body before the foot and the movement is way too big.
What's the difference if you're going to move both feet one at a time or both at the same time what's the difference?
What he's doing is putting his weight on the front foot and moving the back foot like a compass.How do you move the body first on a pivot?the only way that the body can move is with the back leg moving first.
The difference is huge. If one foot moves the other has to or your stance is wrong. But you move one then the other or you have no balance and control.

I'm talking about the front foot.
Still doesn't answer my question about pivots.yeah there's no balance if the stance is wrong but what I want to know that I don't know is why are top level coaches are wanting people to pivot off the front foot. Freddie roach told me that moving in and out is predictable so I guess that's why he doesn't want people going back out. the majority of the coaches Don't want you going back out when I've asked why they tell me because boxing is the sport of aggression.
That last makes no sense and any coach that teaches you to stand in is probably trying to get you killed. The essence of boxing is you move in through an opening you have created by making the other guy miss, etc...you throw your punches and then you move, either back out of range or around to a place where you don't get hit back. You can then keep punching from a new angle or start over again, looking to create a new opportunity.
I think most don't teach that because they either don't know how, or they are lazy.
It's a sad state of affairs when all that's valued is aggression. The most instruction a lot of people get on defense is "keep your hands up at all times".
