    Didn't Norton do that to Ali as well?

    I would say Marvelous Marvin Hagler; In my spirit, I've never seen somebody with this permanent ability to have their opponents always where they wanted them. I think he should considered as one of the very best (if not the best) into that division. Another one who did move like a ghost on a ring was Archie Moore, he has that gift too, I think and I am a bit surprised they haven't been mentioned more for that before.

    really? I was just thinking the exact opposite. I don't know about all of his fights, but I thought he showed great lateral movement in his fight against Corrales, quickly shifting direction to avoid getting caught on the ropes.

    Without a doubt Emanuel Augustus has the best footwork, who else practically made the ring his own dancing with the stars. Love watching him wish he'd never age. This man has SWAGGER

    You know every time Emanuel steps into ring ur gonna get entertained. His footwork puts him in a league of his own. The angles he creates from his unorthodox footwork is matched by none. A trainers nightmare for both the opponent and whoever has the patience to train Emanuel.

    I remember a thread where people were categorizing boxers according to styles. We had fun with Augustus. I think the words boxer/spastic showed up once or twice.

    Augustus is the blueprint to show a young fighter what not to do. I've argued with some who thinks his style is disrespectful to the opponent and the sport. I don't think it is at all.

    Most people have gone with the dancers and movers, but I appreciate subtly good footwork that is not flashy.

    Roberto Duran had fantastic, efficient footwork. He was always in the right place at the right time especially close up. He made his opponents do what he wanted them to do.

    Currently, I rate GGGs footwork. Very effective indeed. Canelo gave him problems last time, so let's see what happens this weekend

    I chose Chavez, he broke the ring down to get to his opponent really well.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
