      I've seen Lee sparring in demonstrations.He kept his head and upper body rigid and darted in and out in straight lines.


      Didn't remind me of Pacquaio-apart from the speed.

        I wouldn't go that far as to saying it's the best ever in boxing. But his movement was far more superior.

        If you watch closely in the corner, Pacquiao was tired. Not tired, tired. But felt it cus he was moving around so much.

        Pacquiao was never in the same place twice. Amazing.

            he's amazingly fast on his feet..his footwork was great.

            some other fighters with great feet and movement...

            Bernard Hopkins
            Pernell Whitaker
            Roy Jones in his Prime
            Muhammed Ali
            Prince Naseem

              It is very very overated ok at best. Just look at how many times he let's his back foot come off the ground

                I think it was excellent the way he moved, but not the best ever. Check Ray Leonard, Whitaker, Ali, etc..

                    Pacmans one of my absolute favourite fighters but this is going too far now. Its ridiculous.

                      those guys were fast on their feet and moved a lot, but weren't as technical or as good. A better example is a Bernard Hopkins in his prime..he feints and slips and sets up positioning with his feet and the right time. Leonard and Ali just moved a lot.
