[Scrap]

I think aside from Ray Robinson those guys are the best

[Master]

Pernell Whitaker could never figure how he was so elusive.

[CutMeMick]

One that should be mentioned is RJJ.

RJJ could switch directions in a split second...

Interestingly Lyle, Robinson couldnt work going right, the thing with him is he could punch hard in clusters and that negated the other guys thought process. Those that had the Bottle, beat him, just the good points he had outweigthed the bad ones. Not saying he wasnt a great fighter I am saying he wasnt perfect.

[El Kabong]

I hear you Scrap, Robinson still had good footwork though.


I think power punchers get overlooked when it comes to footwork...it takes good footwork to land good hard punches. Using footwork for defense is all well and good but for offense is just as effective and needs to be appreciated.

Well if you say Robinson couldn't move right well how about Ali not moving good to the right.Look what happens with Henry Cooper,Ali steps right boom caught by a left hook and down he goes.A few years later Ali moving backward against Frazier then tries to sidestep right then BOOM almost on cue down by a left hook.The only good punch thrown from him moving right was the old step and fetch which caught Liston but that to me and many was tainted as a fix.

How did i forget willie pep yeah he was a dancer in the ring, indeed, after all he is the only boxer who won a round without even throwing a punch , but awarded purley because of his footwork in a few rounds
this was willie pep v jackie graves if you havent seen that fight ,watch the 3rd round great footwork .
