1.Angles
o Pacquiao vs. Cotto: Pacquiao's incerdible footwork and upper body movement combine to give Cotto fits Pacquiao can punch from bizarre angles and then dart perfectly out of the way of a counterpunch. Angles-working masterpiece.
2.Parrying
o Marquez vs. Diaz: Marquez is backed against the ropes several times and parries each punch individually. He's not a defensive master, but it's very impressive to watch him intercept three or four punches in a row.
3.Feinting + 4.Setting traps
o Marquez vs. Casamayor: Two boxing masters going at it and they both try both of these tricks over and over. My man gets the best of it
5.Counter-punching
Any Mayweather fight. As much as I dislike his conduct over the past month or so, you can't help but respect his boxing skills. He's so good at looking like he's available to be hit and then snapping his head back and punishing his opponent with a check hook or straight right. Best examples are probably his wins over Marquez and Mosley and round 10 of the Hatton fight.Comment

You can go on and on with examples but here are a few:
Watch the way Mayweather rotates his body and chooses his shots wisely to get the right angles on these body shots.
B-Hop against Pavlik...he had all the right footwork and angles. He later talked about the importance of positioning. He knows the angles of where to be so he can land, and if his opponent lands, it's not as effective.
Tim Witherspoon is one of many fighters whom I felt had a nice way of using his right hand to parry shots.
B-Hop is a master of feinting. As he got older, sometimes it seemed like he feinted more than threw punches.
Watch him feint and Tito puts his right glove up to protect himself from the left hook. Then Hopkins goes to his right and lands the right hand.
Duran was another master of the feint. Check his use of them against Palomino.
I don't like Ferdie Pacheco but he was right, Nelson set traps here by lying on the ropes and then catching Fenech with big shots.
You got to mention James Toney when it comes to counterpunching.
A master of countering.
Mayweather doesn't throw as many shots as Toney but he's a very good counterpuncher as well.

Fights with Carlos Monzon, Sugar ray Leonard, Sugar ray Robinson or Ali. I have learned a lot about boxing just by watching those ATG, when you try that in the ring you realize how great they were.Comment
