Take a look at the scores of Wilfred Benitez Thomas Hearns one judge had it 137-146 where as another had it a draw.

You can't fight going backwards. Sure you can then stop stand still and off load once you're feet are set. But until then you're avoiding the fight.

It's all down to preference really. I however have seen Ali fight and mayweathers fighting whilst moving is not aggresive and forcing a fight at all.
Like i said i think it's down to preference.
Good fighters can fight going backwards.
