Who had the best footwork?

People may misunderstand. Footwork is about distance control. Guys who can shuffle and do fancy looking moves don't necessarily qualify. :lol1:

i didnt say theyre footwork is the all time best but i said even the ones that fight flatfooted like broner,bhop, ward etc bust out great foodwork when needed in certain situatiions and theyre shot placement is always presise and persistent :bottle: I disagree, man. I think they're both great fighters but definitely not known for their footwork.

What do you guys think? I think prime Ali had the best footwork in history, the close second would be Pernell Whitaker. What's your opinion? I love that sig . Rigod looking like he is in the matrix

floyd,rigo,gamboa,broner,spence,ward,gary russel,hopkins,bradley.These r the guys that bring a true meaning to float like a butterly and sting like a bee,Even the ones who fight flatfooted now still have precice shot placement and footwork Broner and Bradley :lol1:

Guillermo Rigondeaux. This. Best footwork ever.

Gotta agree with this, and in my lifetime I would say Sugar Ray Leonard would be next. Don't lie... you know you wanna say Floyd not Leonard. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Sugar Ray Leonard SRL had some good footwork, but when Floyd fought Ghost, I dont think I can ever remember a time when he was that lightfooted. It looked like when he fought Genero Hernandez, except a little more lightfooted. That 2nd and 3rd round was symbolic. When Ghost threw a shot, Floyd flew across the ring like a little baby. My friend said, "Man that little dude is fast" Basically skating. I think its out of him, and SRL when he fought the rematch with Duran.

Sugar Ray Leonard
