I vote yes too.
People who stick to the basics usually stay basic fighters.
Not many fighters are naturally connected between their arm movment and footwork,its the key to mastering any fighting style.Others not so nimble end up having to rely on other strengths to get by or win.
Watching the undercard last week on the Barrera fight there was a young man forgot his name (began with L) who they were commenting on his fast powerful jab for the whole fight .(IT was a fight that he won easily and they said he should of finished it and taken the other guy out and made his mark that night).
Anyway ,watch that fight again and watch his feet only as he throws his jabs and rear lead shots ,it is his whole body and footwork that make him the fighter he is. Every move backs everything up that he does. A better pro fighter could of caught him over commiting eventually but he combines all his movment all at once so he is faster comming in with added momentum of weight behind each punch.
Watch for the transferance of body weight between his feet as he lands heel rolling to toe style on both, with a skip inwards as he lands the shot. Thats dancing.
