You said that he skipped without his feet leaving the floor? Could you please elaborate on that Scrap? Maybe I can learn a thing or two from your experience that day.

Anyways what I liked about Duran was that he had good economy of motion, I mean just from looking his footwork you can see didn't waste any movement. I've heard an old boxing axiom that "Good footwork is No footwork." Perhaps it's talking about the least amount of footwork that in necessary.
Roberto didn't have good footwork. His feet were wide apart, but he had good inside handspeed and was not afraid to commit since he had a good chin. But on the outside was his weakness. I do not think there were guys at lightweight when he was fighting who would exploit his weakness for an outside boxer like Pernell or Floyd or someone like that would have.
