Benny Leonard
Sugar Ray Robinson
Willie Pep
Luis Rodriguez
Cassius Clay
Sugar Ray Leonard
Willie Pastrano
Larry Holmes
Billy Conn
young Roy Jones Jr.

who else????

Cassius Clay?

Cassius Clay?

Muhammed Ali

Sugar Ray Leonard got my vote.

Oh yeah, anyway I would say Ali then a bit leonard I guess but Robinson #1.

Don't forget Tunney and Conn.

Poet

Emmanuel Augustus - he quite literally put the dancing into Boxing.

Would a young Jersey Joe Walcott be part of this list?

Even an old Jersey Joe could dance well!

** I would not include many of your names on any best list.

I would say that Corbett deserves mention because he is the first of the modern era, Bendigo being the first or at least best of Broughton Rules.

You chaps completely ignoring the best footwork in maybe a century, Iron Boy Calderon. Guy makes Ali look like a piker.

He's been fighting giants his whole career, beat Cotto in the amateurs, and is undefeated in spite of being barely able to break a soapbubble. His offense is as prodigious as his defense.

He's up against another huge giant in a rematch he didn't look very good in the first fight, a testament to his gameness. Eventually he gets beat, but it's time you chaps opened your eyes to greatness in front of you.

Ali was a Heavyweight. Not many moved like he did so your comparison is void.

Calderon is a genius, probably the best pure boxer in the world right now. His footwork is second to none......but let's see what he can do against the best in the division. Let us see where his feet can take us before saying he has the best footwork in the last century.
