Something I don't understand we seem to be leaning towards boxer's and movers as opposed to sluggers beside's Foreman.So why wouldn't we say Roberto Duran,David Tua,Marvin Hagler,Joe Louis,and Jack Dempsey.None of these fighter's were caught off balance in fact they had tremendous balance.Just because they didn't dance around and look good for the camera's dosen't mean they didn't have amazing footwork.Remember a balanced counterpuncher is far more effective than a ballerina.I'm sorry boxer.
lol i do see your point .But willie pep made his name by his footwork in one fight .But yes !dempsey and duran etc ...i would say they had better techniques and specialitys, then well along with footwork and balance for example duran, i would say, would be pressure , he always came forward to his opponants,and he has power in both right and left hand .

I truly learned the sweet science by watching how B Hopkins always stayed on balance. The way he rolls his shoulders, walks with his punches, follow through and just his all around basic stance makes Bernard my pick. His footwork makes him truly an alltime great. ALI was just the man with his footwork. ALI and BERNARD. The sweet science. NOF SAID.
Hagler was not only underrated as a boxer, but his footwork was a work of art. He was the master of cutting off the ring when in his prime. Always in punching range and slick, yes you heard it here...slick
Check 2:10 into this video for an example.
